How do I choose an IMU?
Some of the aspects we have to consider when we have to select an IMU are performance, underlying technology, SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) and Cost. Besides, another important factor in UAVs is the ruggedness of the IMU. In harsh UAV applications, vibrations can reach a high level and different temperatures.
What does IMU stand for in drones?
Inertial Measurement Unit
An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is an electronic device that uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to measure acceleration and rotation, which can be used to provide position data.
What is Bosch IMU?
Bosch Sensortec optimizes its IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units) for advanced smartphones, wearables, AR and VR, drones, gaming and robots applications. They are designed to provide maximum flexibility to customers. An IMU combines a gyroscope with an accelerometer in one system-in-package (SiP).

What is gyro in drone?
A gyroscope measures the rate of rotation and helps keep the drone balanced. Gyroscopes are devices that consist of a mounted wheel that spins on an axis that is free to move in any direction. They’re used to provide stability or maintain a reference direction.
What is Bosch accelerometer?
Bosch Sensortec has specifically designed the 3-axis accelerometer family for low-power applications optimized for devices such as smartphones and wearables. Accelerometers measure the change of linear motion by applying the sensing principle of capacitive detection.
