inertial sensors

Inertial sensors are devices that measure motion, orientation, and rotation without relying on external signals like GPS. They include accelerometers, which detect changes in speed or direction, and gyroscopes, which measure rotational movement. These sensors are essential in navigation and stabilization systems, such as in smartphones, drones, and vehicles, allowing them to understand how they are moving or tilted. By combining data from both types, inertial sensors provide precise information about position and movement, enabling smooth operation even when external signals are unavailable or unreliable.
