MEMS gyroscopes

MEMS gyroscopes are tiny devices that detect rotation or changes in orientation by measuring the movement of internal microscopic structures. They use vibrating components that shift when the device rotates, allowing the gyroscope to determine how and when it has turned. These sensors are commonly found in smartphones, drones, and vehicle stability systems, providing precise motion data in a compact, affordable form. By converting mechanical movement into electrical signals, MEMS gyroscopes enable accurate tracking of angular motion in various everyday and industrial applications.
