A drone is an aircraft that does not require human piloting. It is equipped with various sensors and control systems and can perform tasks autonomously. The main role of the IMU is attitude control and flight stability. Based on purpose and design features, drones can be divided into the following three types:
✮Fixed wing drone
✮Multi-rotor drone
✮Vertical take-off and landing and transition drone
1. Fixed-wing UAV: The design of this UAV is similar to a traditional aircraft, with fixed wings and tail. It is usually used for long-duration flights and wide-area reconnaissance missions, with high speed and the ability to maintain flight stability. For example, the ER-MIMU02 and ER-MIMU06 developed by Ericco can be used in fixed-wing UAVs to perform the initial alignment of the UAV launch system. The machine performs attitude control.
Product advantages: The bias stability of the gyroscope is reduced to 0.5 degrees per hour. This accuracy level has reached that of MEMS sensors.
limit value.
2.Multi-rotor UAV: This type of UAV provides lift and control force through multiple rotors, the most common ones are four-rotor and six-rotor. Multi-rotor drones have vertical take-off and landing and hovering capabilities, and are suitable for tasks such as close-range reconnaissance, aerial photography, and logistics distribution. For example, the ER-MIMU03 and ER-MIMU07 developed by Ericco can be used in multi-rotor drones. These products have built-in acceleration sensors and gyroscopes, which can measure linear acceleration and rotational angular velocity in three directions, and obtain the attitude and speed of the carrier through analysis. and displacement information for precise positioning.
Product advantages: The bias stability of the gyroscope is reduced to 3 degrees per hour. The drone can be well controlled for positioning.
3. Vertical take-off and landing and transition drone: This kind of drone has a variable flight mode and can switch between vertical take-off and landing and horizontal flight. It combines the advantages of fixed-wing UAVs and multi-rotor UAVs, and is suitable for tasks requiring long-term flight and flexible maneuverability. The IMU plays a key role in vertical takeoff and landing and transition drones, and can be used for flight mode conversion. For example, the ER-MIMU04 and ER-MIMU08 developed by Ericco can be used for vertical take-off and landing and transition drones, and can switch flight postures at will.
IMU is not only an important part of the above three types of drones, but also plays an important role in the IMU pod. On the pod, the IMU’s main role is to provide stable images and image transmission. In addition to its two main functions of attitude control and flight stability, it can also be used with other sensors such as GPS (Global Positioning System) and magnetometer to provide more accurate navigation and positioning information.
IMU provides key data for the control and navigation of drones in the field of drone applications, allowing drones to efficiently perform various tasks. Different types of UAVs have different IMU applications depending on their design and purpose, but whether they are fixed-wing, multi-rotor or vertical take-off and landing and transition UAVs, IMU is used to realize their flight control and A key component of navigation.
