CEA-Leti Reports Breakthrough High-Performance Gyroscope For Automotive, Aeronautic and Industrial Applications

GRENOBLE, France – Jan. 26,  2021 – CEA-Leti scientists, working with researchers at Politecnico di Milano, have developed the world’s first high-performance gyroscope for operating in severe environments, such as industrial and aeronautic equipment and automobiles. The breakthrough proves it is possible to detect minute rotational movement even among system vibrations.

Common in everyday objects, inertial sensors must be designed to meet ever-increasing constraints of miniaturization and cost, as well as requirements for performance and robustness. For certain automotive, industrial and military applications, gyroscopes must be able to detect a variation of one degree per hour, … Read More → "CEA-Leti Reports Breakthrough High-Performance Gyroscope For Automotive, Aeronautic and Industrial Applications"
