9DoF IMU sensors

Like humans and animals, also robots and intelligent motor vehicles can recognize their geographical position and read information about the parameters of the environment in which they stay. In the last decade, MEMS technology has brought a number of tools that allow building an electronic equivalent of the labyrinth. The task of such a sensor is to inform the robot about its orientation in space and motion parameters - acceleration and speed. The IMU measurement sensors use data from three different sensors. To easily determine the coordinates and orientation of an object, sensor devices are often used. It is best to use gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers for this purpose. Despite the similar area of ​​application, each of them measures different quantities. By combining them into one device, you get a powerful tool to help you determine the location and direction of movement of e.g. a drone or a robot. A properly designed electronic system that performs these functions can be found in many variants in the Botland store offer.
