Micro-Inertial Announces Robust, High-Performance IMU and Motion Sensing Systems
Inertial Management Unit (IMU), Accelerometer, and Gyroscope Systems will enable a broad range of innovative transportation, aerospace, and industrial applications
ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Micro-Inertial, Inc., has announced the development of robust IMU and motion-sensing systems that deliver new levels of performance and reliability with broad temperature stability (-40°C - 120°C), high vibration immunity, scale-factor <10ppm and bias drift < 1 deg/hr.
The technology offers significantly improved cost, reliability, power, and operating performance characteristics over existing MEMS-based IMU systems, particularly in applications where temperature and vibration stability, small form-factor and light weight are important.
The IMU systems are suited to applications in autonomous vehicle navigation, unmanned land and ocean systems, mobile robotics, and civil/military aerospace. In addition, Micro-Inertial envisions motion-sensing applications as broadly ranging as airborne mapping, antenna and UAV stabilization, micro-pointing laser and telescope control, and guided downhole drilling.
According to Dr. Navid Yazdi, Micro-Inertial's CTO, the systems "leverage our core MEMS and micro-packaging technology expertise to deliver precision motion sensing capabilities in rugged environments that were not achievable before. We are excited at the prospect of working with the great engineering teams out there on these challenging use cases."
Micro-Inertial is exhibiting at the ADAS 2019 Sensors Conference (March 20-21, Detroit, MI), focused on automotive sensing and navigation applications including next-generation driver-assistance systems (ADAS), GPS-obstructed and dead-reckoning navigation, AHRS and INS systems, and telematics.
