Abstract
Arrangements and methods for determining a relative position of two objects with respect to one another are presented wherein a radiation source generates a characteristic radiation field and a receiver measures radiation quantities of the radiation. The receiver transmits signals that are dependent on the measured radiation quantities in the characteristic radiation field to the evaluation unit, which determines the relative position of the objects with respect to one another dependent on the signals received from the receiver. Due to a connection of the two objects of the arrangement with an elastic connection having a predetermined stiffness, the evaluation unit determines the force acting between the objects and/or the moment acting between the objects from a relative positional change of the two objects with respect to one another dependent on the stiffness of the connections.
