Project Type MQP Submission date 2007-04-24 Authors Tiffany L Warrington, ECE Eric Wong, ECE URN E-project-042407-183027 Title Exploring Inertial Navigation Techniques for Precision Personnel Location Advisor Orr, John A., EE Availability unrestricted Abstract
This project aimed at characterizing both MEMs accelerometers and gyroscopes for use in a low cost inertial navigation unit. A hardware and software system, consisting of MEMs sensors, A/D converters, a 200 MHz processor, compact flash memory, and C++ coded software, was integrated into a test bed that calculates and outputs the final positioning after acceleration and/or rotation was applied. Testing of the unit proved that low cost sensors, performing at specifications are unable to provide accurate positioning with the current performance of MEMs technology.
