Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) are key technologies used to measure motion and orientation. An IMU provides raw acceleration and angular rate data using accelerometers and gyroscopes, allowing users to track movement in three dimensions. An AHRS builds on this by integrating magnetometers and advanced sensor fusion algorithms to deliver full 3D orientation—pitch, roll, and heading—in real time. Together, these systems enable precise navigation and control in a wide range of applications, from drones and robotics to marine navigation systems and industrial platforms.
