- Could somebody post some information or suggest a book on sensors
- for detecting balance, i.e. orientation relative to the horizontal plane?
- I'm praticularly interested in knowing what different types are available.
- Are there any without moving parts?
-
- I recently saw a t.v. program which showed a 1 legged hopping robot in
- action. How did this sense its balance? Could someone direct me to a
- technical publication on this work?
-
- thanks.
