Surrey, UK, 18 November, 2025, Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC) is proud to announce the launch of Flair Bridge, a groundbreaking solution that redefines how operators control MRMC’s industry-leading motion control robots.
This compact device, which is only two inches long, removes the complexity of hardware and operating system requirements, enabling seamless robot control from virtually any modern computer.
“Flair Bridge is a game-changer for our customers,” said Assaff Rawner, at MRMC. “It dramatically simplifies setup and expands flexibility, allowing operators to use the laptops they already rely on for everyday work—without compromising performance.”
With Flair Bridge, operators gain unprecedented freedom and simplicity. It works across Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms, making this the first time Macs can be used to control MRMC rigs. There are no special operating system configurations, drivers, or BIOS tweaks required, which means installation and support on new computers is faster and easier than ever.
Previous chipset and BIOS limitations are eliminated, enabling more laptops to be used for robot control and making workflows far more portable. Connectivity is also streamlined, allowing robots to run over Wi-Fi or company networks with ease.
Despite its powerful capabilities, Flair Bridge is remarkably compact, powered by a simple 5V USB-C connection, and fully compatible with all existing MRMC rigs, including older models.
Flair Bridge is available now and will be included with all future MRMC rigs, including the new Cinebot Nano. Existing customers can also purchase Flair Bridge separately to upgrade their current systems.
This innovation empowers freelance operators and production teams to work more flexibly and cost-effectively, using their own laptops without sacrificing control or reliability.
