Where is Autonomous Navigation Going in the Next 5 Years?

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 […]

What’s the Difference Between GPS and GNSS?

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 […]

The Limitations of Autonomous Navigation

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 […]

How to Lose Money When Buying an IMU Sensor

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’s The Difference Between GPS and GPS INS?

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. […]

What’s The Difference Between Autonomous Robots and Controlled Robots?

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, […]

What is Dual Compassing? (RTK Compassing)

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 […]

The Worst Interference Elements to Shield Your Rover From

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 […]

What Does Autonomous Mean In Robotics?

You might have thought, “what does autonomous mean in robotics?” In the world of autonomy, we not only want technology that is self-sufficient but can learn to grow on its own. Watch the video below as Jason gives a brief overview of what is new at Inertial Sense.  So, what does autonomous in robotics […]

The Difference Between GPS & GNSS

A question as old as time is, what is the difference between GPS and GNSS. Watch this video below as Carson breaks it down.  One of the vital pieces to the Inertial Sense navigation system is GPS, or as we know it across the world, as GNSS. GPS stands for global positioning system. GNSS […]
