Inertial

This category of posts concerns 9-axis degrees of freedom positioning with inertial measurement unit (IMU) systems. Involving hardware that supports the intelligence of algorithms, simulations, filtering, and modeling associated with the programming required for physical or tangible implementation. So this topic is largely theoretical with a touch of practical applications.
