A multibend sensor is able to provide information regarding bending of the sensor data in a manner able to mitigate error propagation. A reference strip and a sliding strip are separated from each other by a spacer. Electrodes are located on the reference strip and the sliding strip. The bending of the multibend sensor will be reflected in the shifting of the sliding strip with respect to the reference strip and the measurements obtained from the electrodes.本發明揭示一種多彎曲感測器，其能夠以能夠緩解誤差傳播之一方式提供關於感測器資料之彎曲之資訊。一參考條帶及一滑動條帶由一間隔件彼此分離。電極定位於該參考條帶及該滑動條帶上。該多彎曲感測器之該彎曲將被反映在該滑動條帶相對於該參考條帶之移位及自該等電極獲得之量測中。
