IMU688M Inertial Measurement Unit widely used in unmanned aircraft
Inertial Measurement Unit (also name as IMU), is an electronic device that measures and reports acceleration, orientation, angular rates, and other gravitational forces. It is composed of 3 accelerometers, 3 gyroscopes, and other sensors also can be optional.
UAV is unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator or autonomously by onboard computers.
IMU688M UAV IMU is a tactical-grade MEMS-based IMU (inertial measurement unit), it is ideal for a range of critical UAV applications, including flight control, antenna stabilization, and navigation, and is also an essential component for inertial navigation systems (INS).
IMU688M UAV IMU provides reliable performance with good accuracy in dynamic environment, it has been widely used in unmanned aircraft by the Chinese leading companies, now more than tens of thousands IMU688M IMU modules are used in the unamend aircraft.
IMU688M Inertial Measurement Unit widely used in Autonomous Vehicles
The typical IMU for autonomous vehicles use includes a three-axis accelerometer and three-axis rate sensor. The inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a device that directly measures a vehicle's three linear acceleration components and three rotational rate components (and thus its six degrees of freedom). An IMU is unique among the sensors typically found in an unmanned vehicle because an IMU needs no connection to or knowledge of the external world. This environment independence makes the IMU a core technology for both safety and sensor-fusion.
An accurate IMU can also determine and track attitude precisely. When driving, the direction or heading of the unmanned vehicle is as crucial as its position. Driving in a slightly wrong direction even briefly may put the unmanned vehicle in the wrong lane. Dynamic control of the unmanned vehicle requires sensors with dynamic response. An IMU does a nice job of tracking dynamic attitude and position changes accurately. Its fully environment-independent nature lets an IMU track position even in tricky scenarios such as slipping and skidding where tires lose traction.
IMU688M IMU modules provide reliable performance with good accuracy in dynamic environment, it has been widely used in autonomous vehicles by the Chinese leading companies, now more than hundreds of thousands IMU688M IMU modules are used in the autonomous vehicles.

FAQQ: What is the Working Principle of IMU sensor?
A: IMUs operate by use of reference data, bias values from an initial starting point, and calculate changes to these values using its integrated sensors. A central processing unit calculates directional information; position, speed, orientation, and direction of movement, at a given time in space using the IMU. The sensors suffer from orientation drift as they calculate these variables using a process known as dead-reckoning and are subject to accumulative errors.
Q: What is Dead reckoning?
A: Dead reckoning is the calculation of current position by use of a previously determined location and the advancement of that position by a known or estimated directional speed over an elapsed time. The process was first used in marine navigation and relied upon manual measurements. IMUs calculate accurate directional information using integrated sensors and operate using these same principles.
Orientation drift is the propagation of orientation errors. Small measurement errors of acceleration and angular velocity produce larger errors in velocity that are compounded into even greater errors in position. Orientation drift, the difference between the actual position and orientation from the measured values, increases with respect to time as measurement errors are compounded. IMUs typically incorporate some amount of calibration in order to compensate for orientation drift.
Q: What are the Degrees of freedom of IMU sensor?
A: IMUs measure six degrees of freedom. This includes the measurement of linear motion over three perpendicular axes (surge, heave, and sway), as well as rotational movement about three perpendicular axes (roll, pitch, and yaw). This yields six independent measurements that together define the movement of an object or vehicle.
Q: What are the Sensor types that IMU sensor is composed of?
A: The IMU is comprised of at least two dedicated sensors, one or more linear accelerometers and one or more gyroscopes or angular accelerometers. An optional magnetometer may be integrated into the unit to calibrate against orientation drift.
Accelerometers detect the direction and magnitude of change in velocity. Simple accelerometers measure linear motion while biaxial and triaxial accelerometers detect a change in velocity over a plane or three-dimensional space, respectively. The IMU possesses a triaxial (sometimes referred to as a triad) accelerometer, or otherwise uses multiple accelerometers that are aligned across perpendicular axes.
Gyroscopes detect the angular rate or orientation about a given directional vector. The angular rate is relative to a reference surface. The IMU uses multi-axis gyros to provide measurements in three orthogonal directions. These angular movements must be aligned with those of the accelerometer.
Q: How about the delivery time?
A: for our standard model, if we have them in stock, only need 2~3days to re-test before shipping, if it is out of stock, then need around 2 weeks to arrange the production and tests. For the ODM electronic product, if needing to modify the structure, it will need around 3~4 weeks to arrange the production and tests.

Q: Whether the IMU688M's SPI sampling rate can be settable?
A: yes, we can, the IMU688M SPI sampling rate can reach to 2000Hz, if you want to set it as 100Hz or other frequency, please let us know, we can set it here in our factory.
Q: Whether SkyMEMS can provide ODM service based on IMU688M module?
A: yes, we can, if you want bigger accelerometer's range, we can design, such as ±40g, or other range, and also MEMS gyro also can be selected, we can design the IMU based on your actual application, and also optimize our algorithms to make it right suitable for your application. While the size and shape may be changed according to your actual applications.
Q: How to keep IMU688M bias calibration good after time? What a procedure?
A: In fact, before we do the high and low temperature compensation and turntable calibration, we have done ESS in the high and low temperature box for 48 hours to release the environmental stress and ensure that the stress deformation is as small as possible. But after a long time, 10 months or a year later, due to the characteristics of the MEMS sensor itself, the performance may have little change. At this time, if the customer has high accuracy requirement, they can return to our factory for calibration again.
Q: What is an IMU sensor?
A: An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes, sometimes also magnetometers.
Q: What does inertial measurement unit measure?
A: Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) is a self-contained system that measures linear and angular motion usually with a triad of gyroscopes and triad of accelerometers. An IMU can either be gimballed or strapdown, outputting the integrating quantities of angular velocity and acceleration in the sensor/body frame.
Q: What is the Terms Definition for Navigation?
A: Inertia is the property of bodies to maintain constant translational and rotational velocity, unless disturbed by forces or torques, respectively (Newton's first law of motion).
An inertial reference frame is a coordinate frame in which Newton's laws of motion are valid. Inertial reference frames are neither rotating nor accelerating.
Inertial sensors measure rotation rate and acceleration, both of which are vector‐ valued variables.
Gyroscopes are sensors for measuring rotation: rate gyroscopes measure rotation rate, and integrating gyroscopes (also called whole‐angle gyroscopes) measure rotation angle.
Accelerometers are sensors for measuring acceleration. However, accelerometers
Cannot measure gravitational acceleration. That is, an accelerometer in free fall (or in orbit) has no detectable input.
The input axis of an inertial sensor defines which vector component it measures.
Multi‐axis sensors measure more than one component.
An inertial measurement unit (IMU) or inertial reference unit (IRU) contains a cluster of sensors: accelerometers (three or more, but usually three) and gyroscopes (three or more, but usually three). These sensors are rigidly mounted to a common base to maintain the same relative orientation.
Q: What is Basic principle of inertial navigation?
A: the ability to measure the acceleration of vehicle it would be possible to calculate the change in velocity and position by performing successive mathematical integrations of the acceleration with respect to time.
In order to navigate with respect to our inertial reference frame, it is necessary to keep track of the direction in which the accelerometers are pointing.
Rotational motion of the body with respect to inertial reference frame may be sensed using gyroscopic sensors that are used to always determine the orientation of the accelerometers. Given this information it is possible to resolve the accelerations into the reference frame before the integration process takes place.
Q: What is the Relation to guidance and control?
A: Navigation is concerned with determining where you are relative to where you want to be.
Guidance is concerned with getting yourself to your destination.
Control is concerned with staying on track.
There has been quite a bit of synergism among these disciplines, especially in the development of missile technologies where all three could use a common set of sensors, computing resources, and engineering talent. Therefore, the history of development of inertial navigation technology has a lot of overlap with that of guidance and control.
Q: What is Aircraft Axes Definition?
A: The three axes of the aircraft are:
The roll axis which is roughly parallel to the line joining the nose and the tail
Positive angle: right wing down
The pitch axis which is roughly parallel to the line joining the wingtips
Positive angle: nose up
The yaw axis is vertical
Positive angle: nose to the right
Q: whether the connector and cable length can be selected?
A: yes, no problem, please let us know the connector type and cable length you want, then we can do it.
