Typical Application

IMU70 Inertial Measurement Unit is a high performance 6 DoF MEMS-based inertial sensors, which has been widely used in the following fields:

– Unmanned Aircraft and ROVs

– Smart Agriculture

– Robotics Control

– AGV

– Platform Stabilization

– Antenna Pointing

IMU70 Inertial Measurement Unit widely used in Unmanned Aircraft

UAV is unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator or autonomously by onboard computers.

SkyMEMS IMU70 Inertial Measurement Unit is an industrial level IMU module, it can provide continuous acceleration and gyro angle for the UAV, which has been widely used in small UAV flight control.

IMU70 Inertial Measurement Unit widely used in smart agriculture

Smart agriculture has changed the way farmers work their land. Real-time location information also allows farmers to maximize field utilization by avoiding missed or overlapping planting and harvesting efforts while minimizing time and fuel usage through optimized travel. Such systems can also provide semi-autonomous piloting of farm machinery to reduce driver fatigue and allow efficient operation even in low visibility conditions such as dust, fog, rain, and darkness. Currently more than 50% of farmland, great and small in extent, now utilizes smart agriculture methods with adoption continually increasing.

Because they can accurately measure the movement of objects in three dimensions, IMU modules are essential to modern society. They are utilized in many more applications than just the automatic control and autonomous driving on tractors and other agricultural machinery used for precision agriculture. Examples include orientation measurement during autonomous driving, drone orientation control, camera and antenna vibration detection and control, and controlling the angle and attitude of blades and arms on construction and mining equipment. The high-precision detection of tiny changes in movement, which are too small for the human eye to detect, makes IMUs vital to high-precision data measurement and control of machinery.

SkyMEMS’s IMU modules use high-performance MEMS sensors that features excellent stability, low power consumption and low noise characteristics.. And their linearity characteristics enable high-precision measurement of various kinds of movement over a wide range from slow to fast. This allows them to be used in a broad array of smart agriculture applications.

FAQ

Q: What is IMU Inertial Measurement Unit?

A: An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and reports a body’s specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes, sometimes also magnetometers. IMUs are typically used to maneuver aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), among many others, and spacecraft, including satellites and landers. Recent developments allow for the production of IMU-enabled GPS devices. An IMU allows a GPS receiver to work when GPS-signals are unavailable, such as in tunnels, inside buildings, or when electronic interference is present. A wireless IMU is known as a WIMU.

The IMU is the main component of inertial navigation systems used in aircraft, spacecraft, watercraft, drones, UAV and guided missiles among others. In this capacity, the data collected from the IMU’s sensors allow a computer to track a craft’s position, using a method known as dead reckoning

Q: What is Dead reckoning?

A: Dead reckoning is the calculation of current position by use of a previously determined location and the advancement of that position by a known or estimated directional speed over an elapsed time. The process was first used in marine navigation and relied upon manual measurements. IMUs calculate accurate directional information using integrated sensors and operate using these same principles.

Orientation drift is the propagation of orientation errors. Small measurement errors of acceleration and angular velocity produce larger errors in velocity that are compounded into even greater errors in position. Orientation drift, the difference between the actual position and orientation from the measured values, increases with respect to time as measurement errors are compounded. IMUs typically incorporate some amount of calibration in order to compensate for orientation drift.

Q: What is Aircraft Axes Definition?

A: The three axes of the aircraft are:

The roll axis which is roughly parallel to the line joining the nose and the tail

Positive angle: right wing down

The pitch axis which is roughly parallel to the line joining the wingtips

Positive angle: nose up

The yaw axis is vertical

Positive angle: nose to the right

Q: How about the delivery time?

A: for our standard model, if we have them in stock, only need 2~3days to re-test before shipping, if it is out of stock, then need around 2 weeks to arrange the production and tests. For the ODM electronic product, if needing to modify the structure, it will need around 3~4 weeks to arrange the production and tests.

Q: How to arrange the payment?

A: about the payment, please pay to our company account, the beneficiary’s name: NANJING SKY MEMS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.  And our email is only @skymems.com to contact with u formally. To notice this to avoid the loss.
