Abstract :
In this paper, we used a robotic arm to calibrate a triaxial accelerometer and magnetometer. In particular, we estimated the sensitivity and bias of each of the three accelerometers and magnetometers that comprise the triaxial sensor. We also determined the angles between each pair of accelerometers and each pair of magnetometers.
