Abstract
An example autonomous vehicle includes a body configured for movement along a surface, a sensor on the body to output a signal in a plane and to obtain information about an environment based on the signal, and a control system to use the information to determine a location of the autonomous vehicle in the environment. The sensor is configured to keep constant the plane of the signal for different positions of the body.
