In this video, GuideNav explains the primary function of the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and how it plays a critical role in tracking orientation, acceleration, and angular velocity in various applications, such as drones, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.
Understanding the two primary types of sensors:
- Accelerometers – Track how fast an object is speeding up or slowing down along three axes (x, y, z).
- Gyroscopes – How quickly that object is spinning or rotating.
Learn how IMUs provide precise motion sensing for navigation and control systems, across sectors including Aerospace, Defense, and Robotics.
