The electronics inside consumer gadgets are often miniaturized versions of bigger components – like phone cameras, for instance – and that applies to the gyroscopes used to help a device orientate ...

ANN ARBOR--A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope, developed at the University of Michigan, could help drones and autonomous cars stay on track without a GPS signal. "Our gyroscope is ...

Forward-looking: Future electronics still have room to get a lot smaller. New techniques for creating optical gyroscopes may make motion and orientation detection significantly better all while chips ...

Scientists have developed the world’s smallest optical gyroscope — device that helps vehicles, drones, and wearable and handheld electronic devices know their orientation in three-dimensional space.

A new detection scheme that may lead to the world's smallest gyroscope has been uncovered by scientists. More than creative learning toys, gyroscopes are indispensable components in a number of ...

The modern smartphone is only possible because of sensors. Their svelte form factor conceals accelerometers, magnetometers, temperature sensors, a GPS unit, and gyroscopes. They all consume volume and ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Researchers powered the University of Michigan have developed a small but powerful gyroscope that could reduce the GPS-dependency of drones and autonomous cars. According to U-M’s ...

Entomologists and mechanical engineers ordinarily have little to do with one another. The first study bugs; the second design machinery. But last week the Sperry Gyroscope Co., designers of highbrow ...

Even before von Lilienthal's sug- gestion, Etrich and Weis had patented a similar idea, but had abandoned it during construction. $ While no experiments were made, more mature consideration led to the ...

A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope could help drones and autonomous cars stay on track without a GPS signal. A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope, developed at the ...
