Heading Sensors/Orientation Tracking Sensors
TIAX has developed a compact, integrated sensor platform that combines its magnetometer technology with the latest in microelectromechical systems (MEMS) inertial sensors to provide highly accurate orientation data in the presence of hard and soft iron.
The potential applications for such precise directional information are numerous and significant: providing input to navigation systems when GPS is unavailable; tracking human body motions interfacing with virtual environments; locating targets from a standoff distance; facilitating control of articulated payload systems in autonomous robotics and next-generation prosthetics; and enabling accurate mapping of the boreholes created by tracking oil and gas drillheads.
Benefits:
- Complete three-axis orientation (heading, pitch, roll), plus temperature and acceleration.
- Exceptional accuracy that is insensitive to changes in latitude.
- Proprietary auto-compensation for hard and soft iron.
- Excellent stability over time and temperature.
- Compact size and weight.
- Low power draw for long battery life in portable applications.
