Your rover depends on global positioning to determine its location and to navigate familiar and unfamiliar terrain successfully. The primary reason to increase the number of receivers on your GPS rover is heading accuracy. Upgrading from a single system to multiple receivers is typically a cost-effective method of improving accuracy for geolocation. Increased heading accuracy […]

Multi-Band GNSS is not so new to the world of autonomy. Watch the video below as Walt Johnson explains why we as autonomy enthusiasts should care about it today.  Multi-band GNSS gives you the ability to observe the air in a signal that is retained from satellites where it contains multiple frequencies. This allows […]

What if you could have your groceries or take-out delivered by a driverless car? Or what if a package you ordered was delivered by a drone? Watch the video below as Joshua predicts where autonomous navigation is going in the next 5 years.  Autonomous navigation will become more natural in the coming years. We […]

To this day, the question that still circulates: what is the difference between GPS and GNSS? Watch the video below as Carson explains the difference!  We know GPS as the go-to for finding an address, a restaurant, any location, and even being able to share your location with others. But there is more to […]

Are you curious about what Inertial Sense is doing to address the limitations of autonomous navigation? The reality is that space is limited when it comes to autonomous navigation for mobile devices, based on how good our sensors are and how well we can make choices. Watch the video below as Joshua explains how Inertial […]

Purchasing an Inertial Measurement Unit, more commonly referred to as an IMU sensor, can be a tricky process. Because the price range and capabilities of these autonomous devices can vary so widely, it is easy to overspend on IMUs that may not be suited to your specific set of needs. At Inertial Sense, we offer […]

What is the difference between a GPS and a GPS INS or a GPS-aided inertial navigation system? Watch the video below as Walt explains the difference between basic GPS and GPS with INS, plus he gives some insider secrets!  GPS can only give you position and update rates are provided at a slower speed. […]

An autonomous robot versus a controlled robot can operate the same, but the robot brain is much different. Watch the below as Josh explains the big difference between autonomous and controlled robots.  Now let’s take a look at autonomous robots versus controlled robots. An autonomous robot has the capability to move on its own, […]

GPS Compassing is taking two GPS antennas and using them on a baseline with one another to give a heading. Watch the video below as Carson explains how RTK and dual compassing work together.  Inside a sensor, the IMU contains a magnetometer. This sensor tells the system which direction it is facing and gives it […]

Inertial navigation within robotics is notoriously susceptible to all kinds of interference and technical problems that can cause drift at best, and collision at worst. This article aims to help you be aware of some of the most problematic interference elements from various signals and some helpful approaches to preventing and solving them.   Interference […]
