Most engineers are familiar with the mechanical gyroscope, which you can use either to maintain a fixed heading as a gyrocompass or to provide inertial navigation information when you combine it with ...

Gyroscope designs used in inertial navigation systems (INS) fall into three basic groups: the classic spinning-rotor mechanical gyro (still in use in specialized situations due to its superior ...

Dr. Mario Paniccia, CEO and co-founder of Anello Photonics, discusses the scope of applications in optical gyroscope technology, specifically when combined with an AI-based sensor fusion engine. The ...

It’s understandable to think of the Internet of Things (IoT) as composed primarily of sensors that are fixed in place and continuously measure and report on temperature, motion, pressure, activity, ...

Middletown, RI — KVH Industries, Inc.'s new DSP-4000 series fiber optic gyro (FOG) comes in both single- and dual-axis configurations. They are specifically designed to provide the military with a ...
