	Motion control photography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Motion control photography is a special effects technique used in film that creates the illusion of size from small models by moving a small camera by the model at very slow speeds.
		The first suggestions that this was possible came about when John Whitney pioneered several motion techniques using old anti-aircraft analog computers connected to servos to control the motion of lights and lit targets.
		The downside to motion control is that it requires considerable programming in order to make the camera move the way you want.

	Motion control and consciousness
		It remains to relate motion control to first person aspects of consciousness involving "qualia" or "experience." The connection can be made by identifying experience with the continually shifting pattern of activity in the motion control system of an independently moving entity in a changing environment.
		The identification of experience with activity patterns in the motion control system of an entity with directly connected components implies there is nothing "it is like" to be a brick, a rosebush, a flock of birds, a school of fish, or a termite colony.
		Motion control system activation can be expected to be particularly intense in situations of great importance to an entity's survival.

		Motion controllers are capable of generating a variety of motion trajectories.
		This is facilitated by the controller's ability to operate in various motion control modes, which we are examining in this series.
		As the rotary motion is transmitted via a leadscrew, backlash causes a delay in the loop, resulting in oscillations.

	HOME AMS motors, drives and intelligent motion control.
		Microstep is a relatively new stepper motor technology that controls the current in the motor winding to a degree that further subdivides the number of positions between poles.
		A stand-alone stepper motor control system is often packaged with a driver and/or power supply and optional encoder feedback for "closed loop" applications that require stall detection and exact motor position compensation.
		Integrated control means the indexer is embedded within the complete system and accepts commands from the host computer "on-line" throughout the entire motion process.

	Motion Control
		When talking about mechanical systems, typically some sort of input motion or signal is used to control the output motion of the system using some sort of feedback to maintain the output at a level selected by the input.
		A common control mechanism, for small robots, is to control the velocity of a motor.
		Position control loops are very much like the traditional R/C servos: you input a desired position and the servo logic drives the output shaft to that position with whatever force is required.

		The purpose of this site is to suggest that motion control is also an emerging medium for artistic expression.
		Despite the universal use of motion control in industrial settings, its use by artists has been hampered by the enormous cost of commercial equipment.
		Because access to the tools of this medium is crucial for its exploration, one strategy open to motivated artists, is building their own equipment from scrapped components flowing out of industrial sources.
