Inertial Navigation System
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummaryAn inertial navigation system (INS) is a self-contained device consisting of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and computational unit. The IMU is typically made up of a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope and sometimes a 3-axis magnetometer and measures the system's angular rate and acceleration. The computational unit used to determine the attitude, position, and velocity of the system based on the raw measurements from the IMU given an initial starting position and attitude.
Project ObjectivesTo build a system in which inertial measurement readings taken from the body help in fine tuning the GPS location. The problem with the GPS is that it is slow and its data points are not 100% correct. The benefits of using GPS with an INS are that the INS may be calibrated by the GPS signals and that the INS can provide position and angle updates at a quicker rate than GPS. For high dynamic vehicles, such as missiles and aircraft, INS fills in the gaps between GPS positions. Additionally, GPS may lose its signal and the INS can continue to compute the position and angle during the period of lost GPS signal. The two systems are complementary
Project Implementation MethodIplementation will be thorough a microcontroller with a algorithim that can determine the current position
Benefits of the ProjectIt will an object to locate and track it's position without the need of a gps and make it functional in remote areas where a gps signal cannot reach.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableAn algorithim implemented on a microcontroller with the ability to track and its current position using a gyrometer accelometer and an magnometer
