Eighteen signals are captured and several metrics are calculated between them, such as the correlation, the mutual information and the entropy. A sensor classification scheme based on the multidimensional scaling technique is presented.engRobotic manipulatorsMechanical manipulatorEntropyRobotic Sensorsbook part10.1007/978-94-007-4722-7_35
