Tracking Galloping Profile of Transmission Lines Using Wireless Inertial Measurement Units

Accurate Position Tracking Using Inertial Measurement Units

Android Platform for Realtime Gait Tracking Using Inertial Measurement Units

One of the most important movements performed by the humans is gait. Biomechanical Gait analysis is usually by optical capture systems. However, such systems are expensive and sensitive to light and obstacles. In order to reduce those costs a system based on Inertial Measurements Units (IMU) is proposed. IMU are a good option to make movement analisys indoor with a low post-processing data, all...

Indoor Positioning Using Inertial Measurement Units

With the increase in the number of smart phone users worldwide there comes a high demand for smart phone based location systems. Within the project “Indoor positioning using inertial measurement units” an android application has been developed wherein the position of the smart phone user with respect to the floor environment is determined. This has been achieved using the smart phone sensors st...

A Real-time Motion Tracking Wireless System for Upper Limb Exosuit Based on Inertial Measurement Units and Flex Sensors (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This paper puts forward a real-time angular tracking (motion capture) system for a low cost upper limb exosuit based on sensor fusion; which is integrated by an elastic sleeve-mitten, two inertial measurement units (IMU), two flex sensors and a wireless communication system. The device can accurately detect the angular position of the shoulder (flexion-extension, abduction-adduction and interna...

Design of a Wireless Sensor Module for Monitoring Conductor Galloping of Transmission Lines

Conductor galloping may cause flashovers and even tower collapses. The available conductor galloping monitoring methods often employ acceleration sensors to measure the conductor translations without considering the conductor twist. In this paper, a new sensor for monitoring conductor galloping of transmission lines based on an inertial measurement unit and wireless communication is proposed. A...
