[SP] Quantify Bias in IMU Accelerometer and Gyroscope

datahaki opened this issue · comments

Motivation

The go-kart uses the inertial measurements unit VMU931 for estimation of acceleration and rotation rate. Because the values are expected to drift over time, the device offers a calibration procedure. The calibration procedure takes about 3[s] and is carried out approx. after every 5-10[min] of racing.

Task Description

  • Investigate the evolution and magnitude of bias using previous logs
  • Devise an algorithm that detects bias and software correct, to make the calibration procedure obsolete
