The method further is an enhancement of manual guiding methods of robot positioning and can improve situations in which finer resolution or control of the robot end-effector is required. A motion sensor is mounted in series with the n−1 joint and in parallel with the nth joint, where n is the number of degrees of freedom or number of joints of the serial manipulator.
