Presentation Title:
Current and Future Directions in Gyroscope Development
Presentation Abstract:
Even as GPS location technology has rapidly expanded in military, automotive, and commercial applications over the past decade, there is a continued focus on inertial sensor development due to concerns regarding GPS reliance for military, aviation, and first responder applications. Of particular interest is the current and future direction of gyroscope technology. Current research efforts are focusing on improving performance and reducing the size of sensor technologies to enable a new range of inertial navigation applications. This discussion will focus on a wide range of gyroscope research trends ranging from MEMS gyro and IMU miniaturization to development of high performance atomic inertial sensors.
