Advanced development of an Inertial Navigation System (INS) using rotating modulated technique based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors is described. The system architecture and the mechanical structure are detailed. Alignment and navigation algorithms apposite to the RMSINS system are derived. Preliminary system static navigation experiment results are presented.

Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) were large, heavy and expensive until the development of cost-effective inertial sensors constructed with Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). However, the large errors and poor error repeatability of MEMS sensors make them inadequate for application in many situations even with frequent calibration. To solve this problem, a systematic error auto-compensation method, Rotation Modulation (RM) is introduced and detailed. RM does no damage to autonomy, which is one of the most important characteristics of an INS. In this paper, the RM effects on navigation performance are analysed and different forms of rotation schemes are discussed. A MEMS-based INS with the RM technique applied is developed and specific calibrations related to rotation are investigated. Experiments on the developed system are conducted and results verify that RM can significantly improve navigation performance of MEMS-based INS. The attitude accuracy is improved by a factor of 5, and velocity/position accuracy by a factor of 10.

Strapdown Inertial Navigation

In previous research, a semi-strapdown inertial navigation system (SSINS), based on micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) sensors, was able to realize over-range measurement of the attitude information of high-rotation missiles by constructing a single axis “spin reduction” platform. However, the MEMS sensors in SSINS were corrupted by significant sensor errors. In order to further improve SSINS measurement accuracy, a rotational modulation technique has been introduced to compensate for sensor errors. The ideal modulation angular velocity is changed sharply to achieve a constant speed, while in practical applications, the angular rate of the rotating mechanism’s output needs to go through an acceleration-deceleration process. Furthermore, the stability of the modulation angular rate is difficult to achieve in a high-speed rotation environment. In this paper, a novel rotation scheme is proposed which can effectively suppress the residual error in the navigation coordinate system caused by the modulation angular rate error, including the acceleration-deceleration process and instability of angular rate. The experiment results show that the position and attitude accuracy of the new rotation scheme was increased by more than 56%. In addition, the proposed scheme is applicable to navigation accuracy improvement under various dynamic conditions.

This paper presents Embedded Inertial Navigation System designed and manufactured by the Department of Automatic Control and Robotics in Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland. Designed system is currently one of the smallest in the world. Within it there is implemented INS-GPS loosely coupled data fusion algorithm and point-to-point navigation algorithm. Both the algorithms and the constructed hardware were tested using two unmanned ground vehicles varying in size. Acquired results of those successful tests are presented.

Strapdown Inertial Navigation

This paper addresses a practical problem arising in the calibration of bottom-lock doppler velocity log for the navigation of surface ships. Firstly, a dead reckoning navigation algorithm and briefly error analyze are proposed. Then, employing ship’s true trajectory and calculated trajectory, the rotational alignment offset between a bottom-lock doppler velocity log and a strapdown inertial navigation system as well as the scale factor error of the doppler velocity log can be experimentally determined using sensors commonly deployed with a vehicle in the field. It requires velocity values from the vehicle's doppler log and strapdown inertial navigation system, and absolute vehicle position fixes from a GPS receiver. Lake experiment results show that the calibration algorithm can calibrate the error parameters effectively, thus the position error decreases significantly after compensating the error parameters.
