Abstract
A multibend sensor is able to provide information regarding bending of the sensor data in a manner able to mitigate error propagation. A reference strip and a sliding strip are separated from each other by a spacer. Electrodes are located on the reference strip and the sliding strip. The bending of the multibend sensor will be reflected in the shifting of the sliding strip with respect to the reference strip and the measurements obtained from the electrodes. A finger may be operably connected to the reference strip, wherein the finger extends in the direction of the sliding strip, wherein movement of the reference strip with respect to the sliding strip is translated through the finger.
