1: Definition and composition of IMU An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a device that integrates sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes and is used to measure the linear acceleration, angular velocity and direction of objects. An IMU typically consists of a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis gyroscope, and possibly a magnetometer. These sensors can capture the movement of the drone and provide accurate attitude information.
2: IMU technical principle and working method The working principle of IMU is based on the basic principle of inertial measurement. Accelerometers derive information about an object's velocity and displacement by measuring the linear acceleration experienced by an object. The gyroscope measures the angular velocity of the object and derives the rotation attitude of the object. Magnetometers can help determine the direction of an object. The IMU uses data from these sensors and processes it with filtering and fusion algorithms to provide accurate flight status information.
3: Application scenarios of IMU in drones IMU has a wide range of application scenarios in drones. First of all, IMU is one of the key technologies to realize UAV navigation and positioning, and can provide precise position and attitude information. Secondly, in the stability control of the drone, the IMU can help the drone maintain balance and offset external interference. In addition, IMU is also commonly used to implement functions such as autonomous flight, path planning, and obstacle avoidance of UAVs. The ER-MIMU-03 developed by Ericco uses high-quality and reliable MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes. It communicates with the outside via RS422. The baud rate can be flexibly set between 9600 and 921600. The communication baud rate required by the user is set through the communication protocol. Equipped with X, Y, Z three-axis precision gyroscope, X, Y, Z three-axis accelerometer, with high resolution, it can output the original hexadecimal complement of X, Y, Z three-axis gyroscope and accelerometer through RS422 code data (including gyroscope hexadecimal complement) numerical temperature, angle, accelerometer hexadecimal temperature, acceleration hexadecimal complement); it can also output gyroscope and accelerometer data that have been processed by underlying calculations Floating point dimensionless value. The application fields are also relatively wide, and can be used in heading, pitch, and roll measurement in UAV AHRS; guidance, navigation and control of satellite antennas in tactical MEMS weapon systems, stabilization and pointing in target tracking systems, and autonomous machines and unmanned aerial vehicles. Robot control and orientation in driving vehicles, etc.
Inertial measurement unit (IMU) technology in drones plays a vital role in the modern drone field. By in-depth understanding of the principles, composition and application scenarios of IMU, we can better understand the flight control system of drones and apply it to various practical scenarios.
In the future, with the continuous development and innovation of drone technology, IMU technology will also be further improved and improved. Through continued research and exploration, we can expect the emergence of more accurate and stable drone navigation and control systems. The widespread application of drones will bring more convenience to our lives, and at the same time promote the development and progress of the entire aviation field.
