The AMOS-IMU is an inertial measurement unit that can be used for precisely measuring the orientation of a device in a dynamic environment. It includes triaxial accelerometers, magnetometers, and angular rate (gyroscope) sensors that allow for the computation of 3-D orientation angles in real-time. In Nature Robotics Ltd. provides software libraries and individual calibration data for each AMOS-IMU device.
