Abstract
A robot can be equipped with two types of sensor, internal sensors, which establish its configuration in its own set of coordinate axes, and external sensors, which allow the machine to position itself relative to its environment. This chapter is concerned with the most commonly used types of internal sensor, which measure movement, speed, acceleration and stress.
