Abstract:
Aiming at the low-cost, wide-range, and accurate measurement requirement for Microelectromechanical System (MEMS) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) on a multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the paper designs a heterogeneous parallel redundancy configuration scheme. In redundant MEMS IMUs, a high-cost and small-range MEMS gyroscope is combined with low-cost and large-range MEMS gyroscopes. Then, an adaptive data fusion method of redundant MEMS gyroscopes is proposed. By the designed experiments based on the simulation data and the sensor measurement data, the proposed method has been proved that it can effectively improve the angular rate measurement performance of the multi-rotor UAV and broaden the angular rate measurement range on the basis of saving the configuration cost and volume of the micro IMU.
