A sensor for measuring the position and orientation (POSE) of an object and related method involving the utilization of a target affixed to an object and including three mutually perpendicular intersecting planar surfaces, a base, a mechanism coupled to that base for directing a pair of light beams

A sensor for measuring the position and orientation (POSE) of an object and related method involving the utilization of a target affixed to an object and including three mutually perpendicular intersecting planar surfaces, a base, a mechanism coupled to that base for directing a pair of light beams onto each of the planar surfaces, and an additional mechanism coupled to the base for detecting the reflection positions of the resultant reflections of each of the light beams, the reflection positions thereby being available to determine the POSE of the target relative to the POSE of the base.
