Inertial navigation systems (INS) employ measurements of linear acceleration and angular rate to compute position, velocity and orientation without reliance on external signals. Modern implementations ...

Inertial navigation relies on motion sensors—accelerometers and gyroscopes—to compute position, orientation and velocity without external references. By integrating sensor outputs over time, inertial ...
