Inertial Measurement Units

Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are devices that detect motion and orientation by measuring forces and accelerations using sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes. They track how an object moves, rotates, or changes position in space without relying on external signals like GPS. IMUs are commonly used in smartphones, drones, and navigation systems to help determine movement and positioning accurately. They provide real-time data that helps devices understand their environment and movement, even in environments where GPS signals are unavailable or unreliable.
