The IMU can measure the angular velocity and acceleration of the carrier and provide key data for the carrier. It helps to achieve multiple functions such as attitude control, navigation, and motion trajectory measurement.
We have a six-axis IMU ER-MIMU-08 with built-in gyroscope and accelerometer, which has high performance and ultimate size control. It is very suitable for drones, robots, robot dogs and robotic arms.
**Extreme size**
The volume is only 38.6x 44.8 x25.5mm, the weight is ≤70g, the compact and small design can be easily installed on the carrier.
Using RS422 bus communication, the baud rate can be set between 230400~921600, and the operating temperature is -40~+80℃ to meet the use of most devices.
**High performance sensor**
The gyroscope measurement range is ±400º/s, the bias instability is 1º/h, and the bias stability is 5º/h;
The accelerometer measurement range is ±30g, the bias stability is <50ug, and the bias repeatability is 100ug;
Gyroscopes and accelerometers provide angular velocity and acceleration, and these data can be calculated to obtain carrier attitude, speed, displacement and other information.
*Posture control**
The posture information obtained after the data provided by IMU is solved helps the carrier to balance and stabilize walking/flight control. It also supports the detection and response of external impacts and interference, especially in uneven or dynamically changing environments, this function is particularly important.
In humanoid robots, IMU data is used to detect the angle offset and balance of each state, especially in the robot's torso, joints, hands and other parts.
**Positioning and navigation**
When performing complex tasks, accurate positioning and navigation are essential. IMU can combine external positioning information such as GPS to achieve more accurate and reliable autonomous navigation through algorithm fusion. It enables it to perform complex tasks autonomously and interact effectively with the surrounding environment.
**Motion trajectory measurement and tracking**
IMU can measure and track the trajectory of the carrier to ensure that the carrier can act according to the predetermined trajectory, and make adjustments when necessary to achieve the mission objectives, and achieve accurate path planning and trajectory control.
