Motion Sensors - IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units)

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are sensors that are used to measure the orientation, position, or motion of an object. These sensors typically consist of multiple accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, which are used to measure the linear and angular acceleration, angular velocity, and magnetic field, respectively. IMUs are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including robotics, aviation, and navigation systems. IMUs are available in a variety of sizes, accuracy levels, and output types to suit different applications. These sensors are typically small and compact, and can be easily integrated into a wide range of systems. IMUs are an essential component of many electronic systems, providing accurate and reliable measurement of the orientation, position, or motion of an object.
