     The rapid development of humanoid robots and autonomous driving has led to a booming market for inertial measurement units (IMUs). According to relevant research reports, The global market size of IMU has increased from 9.994 billion US dollars in 2018 to 13.595 billion US dollars in 2021. It is expected to reach 22.253 billion US dollars in 2027, with a compound growth rate of 8.56% from 2021 to 2027. Due to the development of intelligent technology, products with higher performance indicators, integration, and cost-effectiveness are favored by the market.
    As a seasoned player in the industry, EPSON has unique insights and solutions for customer needs. Its representative product M-G366PDG0 has impressive performance parameters and high integration, which can well adapt to market demand. Let's take a look at some of its advantages and characteristics.


Maximum+450 °/s angular velocity range

A typical six axis inertial measurement unit is a combination of an accelerometer and a gyroscope (angular velocity meter). As a key performance indicator of an angular velocity meter, the maximum angular velocity output characterizes its range. The larger the value, the stronger the gyroscope's sensitivity to rate. In terms of application field classification, the output range of commercial grade is generally required to be within the range of 50~300 °/s, while the next level is industrial/tactical grade. Depending on the application scenario, it is required to be able to output values above 300 °/s.

The inertial measurement unit M-G366PDG0 benefits from EPSON's advanced sensor technology and has an output range that exceeds that of general commercial level measurement units, with a maximum output range of up to+450 °/s. This powerful performance means that it can detect ultra fast rotation states of 0.45 °/ms, ensuring that every movement is not missed.

Random walk coefficient as low as 0.08 °/\ h

The inertial measurement unit has a headache inducing characteristic, which is that it will shift over time. For a gyroscope, when it is in a zero input state, the output signal is the sum of white noise and slowly changing random functions, which is the source of deviation. Due to the randomness of white noise, the random walk coefficient is generally used to evaluate the gyroscope output error coefficient generated by the random time accumulation of white noise.

The inertial measurement unit M-G366PDG0 achieves a satisfactory 0.08'h random walk coefficient by mathematically calculating the relevant errors through a built-in extended Kalman filter. Equivalent to this, the random deviation for a day is only about 0.4 °, which ensures the accuracy of measurement and is suitable for various applications that require continuous and precise measurement, such as inertial navigation and space motion detection.

Lightweight, supports SPI and UART universal communication interfaces

Unlike the traditional ultra large space available for sensor placement in aviation and navigation, the demand for ultra compact space represented by humanoid robots has given rise to the demand for ultra lightweight inertial measurement units. Within the valuable structural space, adding each functional circuit module unit means additional costs such as space, assembly, and debugging, rather than simply 1+1=2, which is likely to be a cost of 1+1=3. Therefore, lightweight is inevitably the trend of products.

The inertial measurement unit M-G366PDG0 has the ultimate size advantage, with a size of only 24mmx24mmx10mm, which is reduced by at least 113 compared to other similar products. It is very suitable for application in ultra-high integration products without the need for other peripheral circuits, greatly optimizing space and BOM structure, and providing customers with the best cost-effectiveness. Moreover, it supports universal SPI and UART communication interfaces, and also integrates a signal processing unit internally, which can complete data preprocessing in advance and free up more system computing resources for other important module units.

The market for inertial measurement units is vast and will inevitably shine in various advanced technology fields, and the demand will also increase day by day. Choosing a cost-effective inertial measurement unit is an important step in ensuring product success. The M-G366PDG0 inertial measurement unit is an excellent product with excellent cost-effectiveness in both commercial and industrial fields. Engineers can confidently introduce it into related equipment.
