Amid quest for the perfect inertial sensors, Honeywell touts ‘game-changing’ accuracy of MEMS-based IMU in development

North Carolina-based Honeywell says lab tests of new MEMS inertial sensor technology are showing “game-changing” improvements in accuracy and power usage that could help to pave the way for longer-distance autonomous travel. Inertial sensors are key to navigation when GPS technology fails, which can happen when buildings, rough terrain, water, frequency jamming or other obstacles block satellite signals. The sensors enable unmanned vehicles to determine... Continue reading
