IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)

An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is a device that measures an object's motion and orientation. It typically consists of accelerometers, gyroscopes, and sometimes magnetometers. Accelerometers track changes in speed and direction, while gyroscopes measure rotation. By combining these measurements, an IMU can calculate the position and movement of a device in three-dimensional space. IMUs are widely used in various technologies, including smartphones, drones, and vehicles, to enhance navigation, stabilize control systems, and improve the user experience by providing accurate motion data.
