Gyroscopes for Robotics Technology

Gyroscopes help in maintaining orientation, which is critical for stabilization or balance. Tiny MEMS chips, created using micro-fabrication technology similar to batch processing for integrated circuits, might operate as a Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscope (CVG) by using a vibrating structure. The data from a gyro can be used to stabilize walking robots, control yaw in automobiles, and provide accurate 3-axis positioning of spacecraft, for example.
