CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Mission controllers have turned off one of four spinning gyroscopes that keep the international space station properly positioned in space because it was vibrating excessively.

This application note gives an overview of different control mechanisms for MEMS Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes (CVG) and how they are implemented using the commercial off-the-shelf HF2LI Lock-in ...

Entomologists and mechanical engineers ordinarily have little to do with one another. The first study bugs; the second design machinery. But last week the Sperry Gyroscope Co., designers of highbrow ...

Complying with automotive-safety standards, the ADXRS800 iMEMS gyroscope features a patented differential-quad-beam architecture that minimizes the influence of linear shock and vibration. Sensitivity ...

Many important flight instruments are built around spinning gyroscopes, whose “rigidity in space” makes them try to keep pointing in a fixed direction. An instrument hitched to one or more of these ...

ANN ARBOR--A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope, developed at the University of Michigan, could help drones and autonomous cars stay on track without a GPS signal. "Our gyroscope is ...

When a driverless car or autonomous drone loses GPS contact, it utilizes a tool known as an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to keep track of its orientation in space. Such devices could soon be more ...
