Inertial navigation
is
a
technique used to determine the
position
, orientation, and
velocity
of
a
moving object without the need for external
references
. It relies on an inertial measurement unit (IMU), which typically comprises
accelerometers
and
gyroscopes
to measure the object'
s
acceleration
and
angular velocity
, respectively. Here'
s
how
inertial navigation
works:

. **
Acceleration
Measurement**:
Accelerometers
detect changes in
velocity
by measuring the net
acceleration
of the object in different directions.
