Abstract
A system and method for ascertaining location of a tool. The system includes at least one actuator with an encoders and at least one carrier vehicle coupled with the actuator. The method includes coupling a carrier vehicle to a tool. The tool is coupled to a plurality of actuators which are coupled to encoders. The actuators are instructed to move the tool. The movement of the actuators are recorded. This allows the final location of the tool to be calculated based on the movement of the actuators. This system can eliminate the need for hydraulic lines.
