A Low-Cost MEMS Implementation Based on Sensor Fusion Algorithms

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper a low-cost Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) inertial measurement unit is designed, a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope simulated 6 degrees of freedom orientation sensing through sensor fusion. By analyzing a simple complimentary filter and a more complex Kalman filter, the outputs of each sensor were combined and took advantage of the benefits of both sensors to improved results. The experimental results demonstrate that the output signal can be corrected suitability by means of the proposed method.
