IMU Sensor

Robotics / sensors

An IMU sensor (Inertial Measurement Unit) is a device that measures a robot or object's motion and orientation using:

Sensor	Measures	Unit
Accelerometer	Linear acceleration	m/s²
Gyroscope	Angular velocity (rotational speed)	rad/s
Magnetometer (optional)	Magnetic field for heading (compass)	µT
