Abstract :
An open-source low-cost multi inertial measurement unit (MIMU) systems platform is presented. First, the layout and system architecture of the platform, as well as the novel communication interface used to simultaneously communicate with the 18 IMUs in the platform are described. Thereafter, the potential gains of using a MIMU system are described and discussed. Finally, the error characteristics of the platform, when stationary, are illustrated using Allan variance plots.
