Abstract
A system and method of tracking vessel movers within a liquid handler system using sparse sensor assemblies. The method includes mapping received sensor signals to pre-characterized functions and determining the positions of the vessel movers with respect to a single sensor from the sensor assembly accordingly. The sensors in the sparse sensor assembly can be positioned to have no or minimal overlap between their sensing ranges.
