Abstract

Advancement of the MEMS technology at the end of the 20th century allowed mankind to realize until then unthinkable things. Modern technological procedures have enabled a mass production of sensors and actuators of miniature dimensions with low purchase costs. The article deals with the fundamental principle of the MEMS gyroscopes as angular rate sensors and with the necessary output data filtering and fusion with other inertial sensors to improve quality and precision of the angular rate and position angles determination.
