    摘要: A system is provided for sensing an exit direction of a flexible supply line relative to an apparatus, such as robot or autonomous mobile unit. A method is also provided for planning the movement of such a unit based partly on such supply line direction data. The system includes a pressure sensor a least partially disposed around an exit opening through which the supply line is feedably guided. Upon contact at a given point on the sensor from the supply line, the sensor emits a signal corresponding to a particular exit direction. From this signal, a probable exit direction is inferred and a more precise movement planning is enabled, avoiding measurement errors that arise when the cable is run over can be avoided, or avoiding knottings of the cable.
