A novel sensor is investigated which is intended to be mounted at the wrist of a robot to enable it to determine the co-ordinates of a part it has picked up from a stack or tray. The device operates by letting the part vibrate about two orthogonal axes and measuring its inertia-dependent instantaneous velocities and angles of vibration. The mathematical procedures for extracting position and orientation data from these measurements are described. The results of computer simulations carried out to determine guidelines for the design of the device are presented and discussed.
