Inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes. Some IMUs also incorporate magnetometers. Accelerometers measure linear acceleration, which is the rate of change of velocity. Gyroscopes measure angular velocity, which is the rate of rotation. Magnetometers measure the strength and direction of magnetic fields, often used for determining orientation relative to the Earth's magnetic field.
IMUs are crucial components in a wide range of applications. In navigation, they are used to track
The data from an IMU's sensors can be processed using algorithms, such as Kalman filters, to estimate
