An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers, gyroscopes, and sometimes magnetometers. IMUs are commonly used to maneuver, navigate, and stabilize aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), spacecraft, satellites, and ships. Recent developments allow for the production of IMUs for consumer devices like smartphones.
