“…The encoders are classified as optical, magnetic, inductive, and capacitive according to their measurement principle. Optical and magnetic encoders are dominant in the market as they can achieve high precision, but they tend to be relatively expensive and bulky [2,6,7,8,9,10]. Currently, capacitive encoders have been gaining interest owing to their simplified design, potential for further miniaturization, insensitivity to magnetic field variation, long lifespan, low cost, and high measurement accuracy [5,10,11,12].…”
