'System and Method for Position Sensing' in Patent Application

摘要

The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the ninventors: "Rovers, cranes, robots and other equipment for in-situ resource utilization, site scouting and nsurface robotic exploration on lunar surface, moons and asteroids may require position encoders that noperate in extreme environments, accommodate a broad temperature range, and tolerate hard vacuum nand abrasive dust. Overlapping requirements, including vacuum compatibility and reliable operation in nharsh environments, may be seen in demanding industrial applications, such as in the manufacturing nprocesses for semiconductor devices.
