Challenge was to develop a navigation algorithm and employ it for a handy navigation system, which consists of inertial sensors (Accelerometer and Gyros) along with Magnetic Sensors. Modeling of sensors were done and integrated with algorithm. Further we performed hardware in loop tests (sensor hardware interfaced with laptop) using real-time test scenarios.

Client Profile
