Development of a 3-D Positioning Module Based on MEMS Gyroscope

Development of a 3-D Positioning Module Based on MEMS Gyroscope. Authors: Generalov V.D., Grishin V.S. Scientific advisor: Tuv A.L. The main aim of current work is developement and creating a layout of a 3-D positioning module based on MEMS gyroscope and other sensors. The developed module measures the position of the body, its orientation, angular and linear dynamics in three-dimensional space. The module can be used for positioning, navigation, and automated control tasks. The work includes an analysis of the subject, the study of applied technologies, a review of analogues. The text of the paper presents the process of prototype development, justification of the enforced methods, comparative analysis of components. Based on the results of the work, a prototype of the device was developed. This development contains structural and electric circuits, functioning algorithms, formulas for calculating indirectly-measured values, format of data transfer package, program codes for MC and PC and a testing methodology. Based on the results of the practical part of the work, a prototype layout was implemented, demonstrating the performance of most of the functions of the device, the program code was debugged, and the layout was tested. The results of this work can be used in the design of positioning, navigation, and automated control systems. The work contains 195 pages. The bibliography consists of 21 sources. 31 illustrations and 17 tables are presented in the paper.
