39/54
Accelerometers’ Principle
• Acceleration can be measured using a simple mass/spring system.
– Force = Mass * Acceleration
– Force = Displacement * Spring Constant
– So Displacement = Mass * Acceleration / Spring Constant

Gyroscope
• A device that can measure angular motion or displacement
– An instrument to maintain a specific direction
– Mostly used in airplanes, and spacecrafts
• Key Phenomena:
– Precession: The gravity defying part of Gyroscope
• Gyro is spinning on its axis (1)
• A force is applied to rotate its spin axis (2)
• Gyro is reacting to the input force along an axis perpendicular to the input
force (3)
43/54
Gyroscope Principles
• Principle of operation
– The simplest gyroscopes use a high speed, rotating inertial disk that is
loosely coupled to the frame holding it.
– A rotation in the frame imparts a torque (rotation) on the spinning disk,
which processes (rotates) as a result (conservation of angular
momentum).
44/54
Principle of operation
• Practical uses usually limit the movement to measure only one axis of rotation
(roll, pitch or yaw).
• The induced torque is monitored by a meter which counteracts the torque
with springs or a similar restoring force.
45/54
MEMS Gyroscope Principles
• Coriolis effect
– Motion in a rotating reference frame leads to “sideways” movement
– Can’t walk a straight line in a rotating reference (merry-go-round)
without exerting a sideways force (or acceleration).
46/54
Gyroscope - Coriolis Effect
• This effect shows up on earth since we are in a rotating reference frame.
47/54
Measuring Coriolis Effect
• Constrained motion means a force is imparted.
• By measuring the imparted force (or its effect on an oscillator), we can
measure the angular velocity. Almost all MEMS gyroscopes use this feature.
48/54
Tuning Fork Gyroscope
• A tuning fork is simple example of the Coriolis effect and how it can be used
to monitor angular motion.
• By measuring the amplitude of oscillation in the sideways direction, the
angular motion can be deduced. Used in Daimler Benz AG MEMS gyroscope.
49/54
Vibrating Ring Gyroscope
• A ring is flexured back and forth in resonant mode. The Coriolis effect induces
flexure that is sideways (and out of phase) with the driving flexure.
• Since the Coriolis force vibrates the ring sideways, it produces a second
mode of vibration which adds to the first. The result is a “rotation” of the mode
pattern of the ring. Most MEMS gyros use this method in closed-loop mode.
50/54
Gyro-based Sensors
• Gyro-Compass:
– Gyroscopes mounted in a set of gimbals
– As the gyro spins, it maintains its direction
• Inertial Navigation System (INS):
– Gyro-Compass + 3 Accelerometers
51/54
Applications
• Aerospace:
– Inertial guidance systems
• Automotive:
– Angular rate sensors (for traction control, etc.)
• Entertainment/consumer:
– Virtual reality sensors, pointing devices, etc.
• Industrial automation:
– Motion control, robotics
52/54
Gyroscope Application Example
• Applications on the horizon: Human motion sensing VR, Human/Machine
interface
– Consumer and game markets require lower performance specs and lower
costs.
53/54
Gyroscope Application Example: Segway
• Silicon Sensing Systems VSG ring sensor “Dynamic Stabilization”
• Five sensors used to monitor orientation of the scooter, sampled at 100
times/second. Sensors include VSG ring gyroscopes and liquid-filled tilt
sensors
