Abstract

An actuator assembly comprising a pair of interconnected extensible actuators defining two sides of a triangle structure, and a linkage constrained to move with the actuators such that differences in extension of the actuators cause a change in position of the linkage. Changes in position of the linkage are detected to enable relative actuator extensions to be monitored.
