Line 32:
[[Position sensor]]s measure the position of a joint (the degree to which the joint is extended). They include:
* [[Encoder (position)|Encoder]]: a digital optical device that converts motion into a sequence of digital pulses.
* [[Potentiometer]]: a variable resistance device that expresses linear or angular displacements in terms of voltage.
* [[Linear variable differential transformer]]: a displacement transducer that provides high accuracy. It generates an AC signal whose magnitude is a function of the displacement of a moving core.
* [[Synchro|Synchros]] and [[Resolver (electrical)|Resolvers]]
