Nikon is selling off the robotics company that it bought a decade ago as the camera giant said that it “reconsidered its business portfolio.” In a statement released last week, the imaging giant announced that it is selling all of its shares of Mark Roberts Motion Control Limited (MMRC), a robotic camera control company that Nikon purchased in 2016.
MMRC creates robotics that control camera movement for broadcast, cinema, and product photography; the company manufactures all of its products in the UK.
