Micro-Magic’s Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) merge three axes of accelerometers and gyroscopes to furnish real-time data on orientation,velocity,and acceleration. Their diverse portfolio includes both economical MEMS units and high-precision FOG-based models, with some variants offering quartz accelerometers as an option.
MEMS-based Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) integrate high-precision accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, employing advanced Kalman filtering algorithms to deliver reliable heading and orientation data for UAV and unmanned systems navigation. This includes metrics such as heading angle, roll angle, pitch angle, angular velocity, and acceleration.
GNSS-aided Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) provide accurate and stable estimates of position, velocity, and orientation, making them ideal for drone and autonomous vehicle navigation in environments were GPS signals are weak or compromised. The product range includes both budget-friendly MEMS and high-precision FOG-based options.
Micro-Magic also offers electronic and gyroscopic compasses in various enclosed and board-level formats, facilitating heading and orientation measurements for UAV and Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) navigation and control, and also for stabilizing and aligning antennas and sensor platforms. These compasses utilize advanced calibration algorithms to ensure high precision while maintaining a low SWaP footprint.
Additionally, the company provides a comprehensive selection of tilt sensors and inclinometers designed for stabilization, orientation, and motion compensation in UAVs, USVs, and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs). Available options include:
- Board-Level Sensors – ideal for OEMs and systems integrators, particularly in applications where space and weight constraints are critical
- Enclosed Sensors – designed for use in challenging environments
- Wireless Transmission – enables real-time data transfer via IoT protocols, perfect for remote monitoring and scenarios where cabling is impractical
