Inertial Sense has released an article covering essential information on AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference Systems), which combine a magnetometer, a three-axis gyroscope, and three accelerometers to provide measurements of roll, pitch, yaw and heading. AHRS are widely used in UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles), ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) and other robotic platforms.
