An accelerometer is an electromechanical device, a sensor, that measures acceleration both horizontally in both horizontal axis due to speed, slow down, or high G turns, and vertically due to gravity and lift up or down. For example, accelerometer and gyroscope sensors are often combined in one sensor called Inertial Measurement unit and connected to flight controller of a drone and enable stable flight.  Also […] Read More

Nerian Introduces a High-Performance Successor for the Proven SP1 System Stereo vision, which is the three-dimensional perception of our environment with two sensors like our eyes, is a well-known technology. As a passive method – there is no need to emit light in the visible or invisible spectral range – this technology can open up new possibilities for three dimensional perception, even under difficult conditions.
