The rotating-mass gyroscope, which lies at the heart of inertial measurement units (IMUs), has served very successfully from the 1930s to the 1970s, guiding astronauts, spacecraft, missiles, and more.

PASADENA, CA—Gyroscopes are devices that help vehicles, drones, and wearable and handheld electronic devices know their orientation in three-dimensional space. They are commonplace in just about every ...

In MEMS technology development, it is always exciting to see the next technology frontier, the border of the known and the unknown. Talent and hard work (along with ingenuity) can move this frontier ...

Traditionally, gyroscopes were mechanical devicesthat measured the angular rate of rotation. Onecommon use of gyroscopes has been in navigationsystems to provide heading estimation.Installing these ...
