inertial measurement units
Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are devices that combine accelerometers and gyroscopes to measure an object's orientation and acceleration. Accelerometers measure linear acceleration, while gyroscopes measure angular velocity. IMUs are used in various applications such as navigation systems, robotics, virtual reality, and motion capture technology.
