The Hidden Traps in Using High-Precision MEMS IMUs: What Every Integrator Should Know
High-precision MEMS IMUs deliver unmatched motion sensing performance — but only if used correctly. This reveals four critical usage mistakes that often cause accuracy loss, and how to prevent them in real-world integration.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Honeywell MEMS IMU HG1930
The Honeywell HG1930 is a compact, tactical-grade MEMS IMU offering reliable performance and rugged design for UAVs, robotics, and defense systems. It delivers stable accuracy in harsh environments but comes with higher cost and export limitations.

Inside the INS-Based Localization Technology Behind Autonomous Driving
Autonomous vehicles achieve centimeter-level accuracy through GNSS/INS integration, LiDAR mapping, and visual perception, with high-precision IMUs forming the core of localization when GPS signals fail.

Can an IMU Alone Perform Odometry?
An IMU can theoretically compute odometry through double integration, but bias and noise make it drift exponentially over time. Real-world navigation systems therefore rely on IMU fusion with GNSS, LiDAR, or cameras to maintain precision and stability.

When Should You Recalibrate or Replace a FOG IMU?
Recalibrate your FOG IMU every 12–24 months to maintain bias stability. Replace it after 5–8 years or when drift exceeds specifications to ensure long-term navigation reliability.

Inside GuideNav’s Design: How Rugged Optic Fiber IMUs Withstand Shock and Vibration
Rugged fiber optic IMUs achieve extreme reliability by combining titanium housings, floating coil suspensions, elastomeric and wire-rope isolators, and AI-based signal compensation. These technologies let them function flawlessly under intense vibration and shock where conventional gyros fail.
