Stage doesn't have noise models, so if nothing is changing in the 
world, your sensor readings will not change. This is not a realistic 
model of some sensors (sonar for example). But so long as you bear this 
in mind when you write your robot controller, it doesn't do any harm. 
Simplified sensor models are part of the philosophy of Stage's design.

Does that answer your question? If not, please give some more 
information about what you are doing and seeing.
