An inertial system comprises various types of devices and technologies that leverage the principles of inertia to measure & maintain position, orientation, and velocity. These systems include accelerometers, gyroscopes, inertial measurement units, and more advanced solutions such as inertial navigation systems and attitude heading reference systems. Technological advancements in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have enabled miniaturization and cost reduction in inertial sensors while maintaining high-performance levels. This has resulted in an increased adoption rate of these devices across a wide array of applications. The growing demand for unmanned vehicles, such as drones and self-driving cars, has necessitated the use of sophisticated inertial navigation systems. The growing demand for unmanned vehicles, such as drones and self-driving cars, has necessitated the use of sophisticated inertial navigation systems. The vulnerability of these systems to measurement errors caused by environmental factors including temperature changes, mechanical vibrations, and magnetic disturbances limits the adoption of inertial systems. Furthermore, high-end inertial systems that offer improved performance typically come at a higher cost, which may deter potential customers from adopting them. The increasing interest in space exploration presents new opportunities for businesses engaged in developing highly accurate and reliable inertial guidance systems for spacecraft. Moreover, the continued advancement and proliferation of IoT-enabled smart devices create opportunities for companies involved in developing compact and energy-efficient inertial measurement units that can be integrated into wearable technology products.
