Mark Roberts Motion Control designs and manufactures motion control equipment (robotic camera rigs) for both the TV and Film industry. The company, based in Sussex in the UK, received an Academy Award in 1999 for its contribution to the special effects industry in feature films. The company was acquired by Nikon Corporation in September 2017.

The Bolt High-Speed Cinebot Robot is a 6-axis robotic arm used to capture high-speed camera movements. The rig can be combined with track (3 metres each in length) creating a 7 axis of motion. In January 2018, the company launched "Junior", a more compact and more affordable version of its larger scale Bolt cinebot, which is marketed as "the fastest high-speed camera robot in the world."

The company was established in 1966 when Australian born engineer, inventor and part-time racing driver, Mark Roberts, set up a company to service and upgrade old animation rostrum tables that were used in everything from film titles, cell animation and news clips.

In 2017, Mark Roberts Motion Control was presented with the Queen's Award for Enterprise for International Trade by Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester.
