Einstein's theory of gravity predicts that a rotating body, such as Earth, partially drags inertial frames along with its rotation. Scientists suggest a novel approach to measuring what is referred to ...

Inertial navigation systems use information provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes to provide the position and orientation of an object relative to a predetermined origin point, orientation and ...

The methods of analyzing space, time and motion described in the previous several lectures are called kinematics. Galileo rightly deserves much of the credit for developing these methods. [Although ...

In this article we describe how MEMS inertial sensors, e.g., gyroscopes and accelerometers, can help someone or something to overcome spatial disorientation. We explain how external forces and ...
