It’s understandable to think of the Internet of Things (IoT) as composed primarily of sensors that are fixed in place and continuously measure and report on temperature, motion, pressure, activity, ...

The rotating-mass gyroscope, which lies at the heart of inertial measurement units (IMUs), has served very successfully from the 1930s to the 1970s, guiding astronauts, spacecraft, missiles, and more.

There are two kinds of gyroscopes in widespread use for navigation and control: optical ones, which are extremely sensitive but also expensive, and microelectromechanical (MEMS) ones, which are ...

Silicon Sensing Systems’ inertial sensor platform underpins a newly introduced navigation instrument for north orientation from Kongsberg Discovery AS, with a live showing planned at Oceanology ...
