Watch the video below as Walt Johnson, the CTO and founder of Inertial Sense talks about the importance of sensor fusion, the formation of Inertial Sense and how the team created the company based on past experiences in the drone industry and autonomous navigation landscape for hand launchable drones.  What is Our Technology-Based On? […]

Are you looking to optimize your robotics build but are curious about which sensor factors you need and how to get the best sensor performance? Watch the video below as Morgan Rudolph, Head of Operations at Inertial Sense, explains what to look for when building your new navigation system. In this video installment, “What Sensor […]

An article published in the November 2015 edition of Artificial Intelligence Review defines visual simultaneous localization and mapping, more commonly referred to as Visual SLAM (VSLAM), as a means of establishing the position of an autonomous mobile agent (an object, system, robot, or vehicle) by using images of the environment. Simply put, VSLAM is one […]

Understanding the components and processes that make up an inertial navigation system (INS) is essential for modern companies that plan to implement these systems as part of their overall business operations. Hardware, firmware and implementation of inertial systems are the three components that matter most in the inertial navigation field and inertial measurement units. Here […]

Autonomy and artificial intelligence (AI) are often used interchangeably in conversation and in the media. These two concepts, however, are quite different in practice. Understanding the difference between AI and autonomy will help your company to make the most practical choices for greater productivity now and in the future. At Inertial Sense, we specialize in […]

As RAS robotics and autonomous systems become more commonly used in modern industries, the need for precision sensors and RAS applications is expected to expand significantly. Understanding the basics of robotics and autonomous systems is critical for companies that want to survive and thrive in the new RAS environment. What Are Robotics and Autonomous Systems? […]

Robots and automated systems are ideally suited to take on repetitive, dirty, and dangerous jobs. These systems have already proven their value in commercial environments. For example, Arkansas State University has implemented Husqvarna autonomous mower systems that have significantly reduced the cost of maintaining their grounds. Autonomous navigation presents some real challenges, especially as the […]

In this ever-developing world of technology, refining and improving the concept of “ultimate precision” sits proudly at the top of the list for many innovators all over the world. Even a few years back, the Global Navigation Satellite System could determine the position with an accuracy of 2-4 meters. With RTK (Real-Time Kinetic) GPS, position […]

Have you ever questioned how automated drones (like the Amazon drones we’ve all heard rumors about) decide where to fly, how fast to go, or even where they’re physically located within their legal airspace? If you answered “GPS” you’d be about 30% right… The answer you’re looking for is called Attitude and Heading Reference System, […]

Before we look at the history of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), we have to consider the original technology that started it all known as Satellite Navigation.  Over time, satellite navigation has become one of the most used and important technologies in the whole world. A satellite navigation system (A.K.A. […]
