A Novel Approach for Detecting Rotational Angles of a Precision Spherical Joint Based on a Capacitive Sensor

Precision spherical joints are commonly employed as multiple degree-of-freedom (DOF) mechanical hinges in many engineering applications, e.g., robots and parallel manipulators. Real-time and precise measurement of the rotational angles of spherical joints is not only beneficial to the real-time and...
