Examples of Proprioceptive Sensors:
♤ Global Positioning System (GPS) - The drawbacks of GPS sensors include a slow refresh rate and sensitivity to blackouts.
♤ Inertial Navigation System (INS) - The drawbacks of INS include the tendency to drift over time and with temperature.
♤ Shaft Encoders - A shaft encoder, also known as a rotary encoder, is an electro-magnetic device that works as a transducer to convert the angular position of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital code.
♤ Compass - A compass sensor is used to detect direction and accurately correct motion.
♤ Inclinometer - An inclinometer sensor measures the tilt or angle of an axis.
