IMU¶
Inertial Measurement Unit
Measure velocity, orientation, and gravitational forces together.
Components¶
| Component | Detect |
|---|---|
| Accelerometer | Accelerations in \(X, Y, Z\) directions, using static & dynamic forces |
| Gyroscope | Angular momentum orientation |
| Magnetic Compass | Direction |
Challenges¶
- Interpretability
- Sensor drift: Sensors need to recalibrated regularly
