I'm trying to construct an absolute positioning system for a robot I'm working on. I would want it to be able to work on a variety of surfaces, on ramps, in elevators... just about anything. I don't think that mere encoders will cut it. I'm open to suggestions, but I'm leaning toward a six-axis system.
