Solution :
An IMU contains an accelerometer and a rate gyro. Accelerometer
measures linear acceleration, a rate gyro measures
angular velocity . These are the only two
quantities IMU will actually measures.
- Position
- Orientation
- Linear velocity
- Angular
Velocity
- Linear
acceleration
- Angular acceleration
The other properties whether positions, Velocities (or)
accelerations have to be calculated by the controller.
For e.g. Integrating an acceleration gives a velocity and
integrating again position.
There is an exception, If the Robot is held with no.
acceleration then IMU can be used as an orientation sensor
also.
Ignore any spelling mistake. If you like my efforts,
give thumps up.
