The core of our technology is an inertial measurement unit, or an IMU, which consists of three access gyros and accelerometers. IMU is used in an AHRS, or an attitude heading reference system. Our software integrates or fuses the gyro and accelerometer data from the IMU to estimate roll, pitch, and heading, helpful for GPS. […]

Our specialty is building the brain that does autonomous navigation. At some point, we may build a robot in the future, but right now, our business is delivering this value to OEM manufacturers who make these robotic devices that want them to be autonomous. Watch the video below as Tom explains what we do and […]

Shopping around for an inertial sensor, people think of INS, aka inertial navigation system. Maybe you need an IMU, which is super simple. Understanding the difference between IMU, AHRS, and INS is going to help pick the right product for your specific application. Be sure to watch the video below as Morgan explains the difference […]

Programming robots is not a new science. But having the right programming criteria can make a difference in your autonomous mobile robotics’ performance. There are three major components you should be familiar with for autonomous robot navigation. Watch the video below as Tom unpacks the three general rules for how autonomous robots navigate.   3 […]

We get this question all the time, “Should I get an inertial sensor development kit or a module?” Oftentimes, our customers either need something with proper documentation and plenty of adapters to go to different communication protocols OR they have extra experience designing circuits and need something out of the box, at scale. Watch the […]

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? […]

The journey into robotics has a long history with many ups and downs. Inertial Sense is not much different. Our intent was to make the lightest and highest performance of inertial sensors, with the widest range of devices. So, with making such a big splash so unexpectedly, how does one top that? Watch the video […]

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 […]
