Angle Random Walk vs. Rate Noise Density (MPU6050)
I’ve made a datalog from a MPU6050 (IMU: gyroscope and accelerometer) at 500Hz sample rate. Now I want to calculate the characteristics from the gyro to evaluate the sensor.
For the gyro I’ve found ...

How to choose a good IMU for a wheeled robot?
At our lab, we have a several "Kurt" type robots (about the size of a Pioneer, six wheels, differential drive). The built-in gyroscopes are by now really outdated; the main problem is that the ...

How are units of noise measurement related to units of a sensor's data measurement?
I'm trying to understand how noise is represented for accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers so that I can match the requirements of my project with the standard specs of these sensors.
I ...

Filtering angular velocity spikes of a cheap Gyroscope
I would like to filter angular velocity data from a "cheap" gyroscope (60$). These values are used as an input of a nonlinear controller in a quadcopter application. I am not interested in removing ...

Gyro measurement to absolute angles
Let us assume we have a gyro that is perfectly aligned to a global frame ($X,Y,Z$).
From what I know the gyro data give me the angular rate with respect to the gyro axis ($x,y,z$). So let's say I ...

How is gyroscope bias exposed and tracked?
For an accelerometer, the measurement is defined in the following way:
$$a_m = R_w^b(a_{w} - g) + b_a + v_a$$
Where $R$ is a rotation matrix, $g$ is gravity, $v_a$ is noise, and $b_a$ is the bias. ...

Angular velocities and rotation matrices
Let us assume I have an object O with axis $x_{O}$, $y_{O}$, $z_{O}$, with different orientation from the global frame S with $x_{S}$, $y_{S}$, $z_{S}$ (I don't care about the position).
Now I know ...

Center of gravity offset for accelerometer and gyroscope readings
I am working on a 6DOF IMU that contains a 3 Axis Accelerometer and a 3 Axis Gyroscope.
I am building a project to plot the position and orientation of the turret/cabin in a crane in 3D space.
The IMU ...

Head movement using gyroscope
I have a headset that provides 3 axis gyroscope readings. I wish to find out movement of head for e.g. if a person is nodding left to right etc. But the headset give me values in angular velocity for ...
