The article presents the possibilities of using popular MEMS inertial sensors in object tilt angle estimation system and for stabilizing vertical position balancing robot. Two research models were built to conduct experiment. use microcontroller development board STM32F3 series with Cortex-M4 core, equipped a three-axis accelerometer, magnetometer gyroscope. To determine accuracy estimation, co...

This paper is an overview of current gyroscopes and their roles based on their applications. The considered gyroscopes include mechanical gyroscopes and optical gyroscopes at macro- and micro-scale. Particularly, gyroscope technologies commercially available, such as Mechanical Gyroscopes, silicon MEMS Gyroscopes, Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs) and Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes (FOGs), are discussed. Th...

In this paper we present our approach and experiments with equipping a mobile robot with a novel MEMS angular rate sensor (gyroscope) that was originally developed for automotive usage and is therefore mass produced and very low priced. By fusing its measurement results with data obtained from other cheap sources, it is feasible to use this sensor for continuous tracking although it is still af...

The cylindrical resonator gyroscope (CRG) is a typical Coriolis vibratory gyroscope whose performance is mostly influenced by the damping characteristic of the cylindrical resonator. However, the tremendous damping influences caused by pasting piezoelectric electrodes on the gyroscope, which degrades the performance to a large extent, have rarely been studied. In this paper, the dynamical model...
