1. A device for measuring a distance between two objects, comprising:

  • a base including an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface being disposed at an incline to the lower surface;

    a wedge having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface being arranged to slidably engage the upper surface of the base, the bottom surface being disposed at an incline that matches the incline of the upper surface such that the top surface of the wedge and the lower surface of the base are disposed parallelly to one another; and

    a flexible actuator having a first end coupled to the wedge such that a force applied to a second end of the flexible actuator causes the bottom surface of the wedge to slide relative to the upper surface of the base thereby causing a distance change between the parallelly disposed top surface of the wedge and lower surface of the base,wherein the flexible actuator includes an inner cable slidably received within an outer casing, andwherein the force applied to the distal portion of the flexible actuator causes the inner cable to slide relative to the outer casing.
