Sensing for Robotics & Automation

Microstrain's groundbreaking micro-sensor solutions offer an unmatched combination of lightweight, low-profile performance ideal in robotics and automation, where weight and space constraints are critical to achieve optimal performance. As robotics and automatic processes become increasingly critical in our everyday lives - whether on the manufacturing floor, in our homes, or in robotic delivery platforms - the need for cost effective, highly accurate, and highly reliable performance becomes paramount.

MicroStrain's feature-rich sensor designs deliver the reliability and accuracy needed to incorporate sophisticated capabilities into autonomous devices and robotic instruments, and offer easy integration with ROS (robot operating system support).

Case Studies and Applications

White Paper

Asa Davis, Zach Fuchs, Erin Gunn, Rachel Masters, Christopher Robertson, Benjamin Say, David Schenkenberger

Drones already have their own internal IMU's, but those IMU's lack the accuracy needed for larger flight tasks. For shorter flights and recreational flying, the internal IMU is precise enough to keep the drone running as expected. A
