What is an IMU and what can it do for your drone?

 

IMU is one of the core technologies of drone(UAV) systems. This information is the key to autonomous navigation, stable control and precise flight of UAVs. Some research teams have developed data-driven diagnostic methods centered on IMUs, using IMUs to diagnose faults for UAVs. IMUs usually contain embedded algorithms, such as sensor calibration and data fusion, which help simplify software development and system integration for UAVs.

ERICCO's MEMS IMU ER-MIMU-07 and ER-MIMU-03 (OEM customization is available) can be used in drones. They are small in size, superior in performance, light in weight, low in power consumption, and cost-effective, making them popular among users. With the advancement of technology, the performance of MEMS IMU continues to improve, while the size and power consumption continue to decrease, and they can be integrated into smaller drone platforms. Please see the picture for detailed parameters of MEMS IMU.

The core functions of MEMS IMU include measuring the linear acceleration, angular velocity, and direction of the drone. The accelerometer is responsible for sensing the acceleration and deceleration of the drone during flight, while the gyroscope measures the rotation of the drone. The data from these sensors is processed by advanced algorithms to provide real-time attitude adjustment and navigation information for the drone.

In the design and application of drones, high-performance IMUs can provide stable and accurate data under various environmental conditions, such as temperature changes, vibrations, and rapid movements. This enables drones to remain stable in complex flight environments and perform precise tasks such as aerial photography, logistics transportation, and agricultural monitoring.

With the continuous development of drone technology, we can foresee that MEMS IMU will play a more critical role in future drone applications, providing strong support for the intelligence and autonomy of drones.
