In the framework of article were used the results of the Bachelor thesis, which dealt with this issue . Motion capture is a rapidly emerging technology, via which is possible quickly, easily and mainly highly detailed to record movements of the scanned subject and continue to work with them and then to control service robots. The article discusses the methods motion capture and design three variant solutions of motion capture, from which was selected optimal variant on the basis of selected criteria and for the chosen variant was created algorithm. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajme/1/7/12/ajme-1-7-12.pdf motion captureservice robotalgorithmMATLAB
