MEMS sensors include accelerometers to measure linear acceleration and earth gravity vectors, gyroscopes to measure angular velocity, magnetometers to measure earth’s magnetic fields for heading ...

Three-dimensional inertial measurement units (IMU) provide a device's specific force and angular rate using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes. IMUs often incorporate additional sensors ...

Sensor fusion has been around for many years and is ubiquitous in mobile device designs. Sensor fusion “fuses” data from different types of sensors to improve measurement accuracy, such as for motion ...

The gyroscope market is heating up, fueled by increasingly autonomous vehicles, robots, and industrial equipment, all of which are demanding greater precision and ever-smaller devices. Gyroscopes ...

Sales of acceleration and yaw sensors only grew 7% to $2.54bn in 2012 as prices turned down after the 27% growth in 2011, but are expected to grow 12% to $2.84bn in 2013, says IC Insights.
