The results of the movements are shown in Figure 5. The values of both the joints and the sensors are expressed in degrees(°). The values of the angles are measured using video tools. All the sensors values are referenced to the home position (0°). The differences between the angles measured with the joint sensor and the video tool can be understood due to the inertia of the iterative test performed.
