A Review on Gyroscope Technology

Author : Durgesh Kumar Gupta 1 Mohammad Rashid Ansari 2

Abstract: Gyroscopes are used in instruments such as compasses and automatic pilots on board ships and aircraft, in torpedo steering mechanisms, in large-scale anti-rolling equipment and inertial guidance systems. This paper is an overview of current gyroscopes, based on their applications, and their roles. The gyroscopes under consideration include mechanical gyroscopes and macro- and micro-scale optical gyroscopes. In particular, commercially available gyroscope technologies such as Mechanical Gyroscopes, MEMS Silicon Gyroscopes, Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs), and Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes (FOGs) are discussed. The main features of these gyroscopes are related to their performance and their technologies. Some of the more well-known automotive applications like vehicle stability control, navigation assist, and roll over detection are only used in high-end cars, where costs are not a major factor. Examples of consumer applications include 3D input devices, robotics, stable platforms, camcorder stabilization, virtual reality and more.. Most of these applications have not reached any significant volume, due primarily to cost and size. This paper provides a top-level review of different vibrating mass gyroscopes and examines the top commercially available gyroscopes in the technology.
