Abstract

A body deformation sensor includes a telescopic arm that is collapsible along a longitudinal axis. The telescopic arm includes a length sensor for detecting a length of the telescopic arm. The telescopic arm also includes at least one angle sensor for detecting a rotation of the telescopic arm around an axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The detection of the length of the telescopic arm and the detection of a rotation of the telescopic arm are performed with a temporal resolution of at least 10 kHz.
