Part of the humanoid robot

IMU

The inertial measurement unit: a gyroscope and an accelerometer on one chip, telling the robot how it is moving.

The step: Inertial measurement unit · Perception

The drone's MEMS IMU step; on the humanoid an IMU sits inside the lidar (Livox Mid-360) and on each link (NEO). Output: 6-axis IMU (TDK ICM-40609 in the Livox Mid-360).

    Making the sensing chips

    The moving micro-structures that feel rotation and acceleration are made and tested in the sensor maker's own fab, along with a circuit chip that reads them.
