The spinning robot

Determining location wi
th
gyroscopes
Image a robot in a facto
ry assembly line needs
to turn its arm to pick u
p a part, and to do
so, the robot needs to k
now exactly where in
space its arm is located
. A gyroscopic sensor
helps the robot do this. T
he sensor works based
on the principle of how
gyroscopes respond
to forces (pushes and p
ulls). This experiment
demonstrates how this
works in principle.
