Cobot manufacturer Doosan Robotics has developed a robotic camera system that will enable content creators and mid-level enterprises to adopt professional cinematography skills and create production quality content.
The NINA (New Inspiration New Angle) system automatically senses an object and calculates distance, allowing smooth and consistent robotic-assisted filming. Users will be able to pre-test angles by running simulations before filming to conserve time and save production costs.
Furthermore, Doosan plans to create an open-platform for users to exchange pre-sets of camera movements to diversify filming results and allow beginners to incorporate difficult-to-film angles at a click of a button.
NINA’s hardware enables 360-degree rotation, while its ergonomically compact design works to ensure performance on par with industry robots with a payload of 25kg. The robot’s safety and emergency stop functions provide collision sensitivity powered by six-torque sensors and were validated with the highest safety scores.
Additional features include a joypad and hand teaching, motion import and export, pre-simulation, 720-degree rotation, and hanging/moving capacity at the lightest weight.
William (Junghoon) Ryu, CEO at Doosan Robotics, added: “NINA brings in a whole new era for Doosan as we expand our offerings into the entertainment and content genre. Our goal has been to deliver something accessible yet innovative for professional content creators across entertainment, advertising, social media, and other relevant industries, and we’re confident NINA will deliver in big ways across the board.”
