Aceinna launches new guidance system for robots and other machinery
Aceinna has launched its new INS1000 dual band Real-Time Kinematic Inertial Navigation System with built-in inertial sensors for construction, agriculture and automotive applications. The INS1000 embeds Aceinna’s 9 degree-of-freedom inertial sensor technology to achieve Automotive Dead Reckoning performance in GNSS challenged environments like urban canyons, heavily tree-lined roads, tunnels, underpasses, bridges, and so on. The…

STMicroelectronics releases ‘always-on’ inertial measurement unit
STMicroelectronics has launched what it describes as an “always-on” inertial measurement unit which “improves accuracy and optimizes system power”. The LSM6DSO iNEMO Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) from STMicroelectronics is an always-on 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope system-in-package that is, by itself, extremely power efficient and accurate. At the same time, the IMU makes the entire…

Honeywell and VSI Labs building autonomous cars on IMUs
How a tiny powerhouse part – the inertial measurement unit – went from airplanes to self-driving cars. Aerospace technology has come down to earth. The same navigation technology that guides airplanes, drones and spacecraft is now being applied to self-driving cars. Minnesota-based VSI Labs has been working to improve the performance of autonomous vehicles since…
