Inertial Navigation System Using MEMS Sensors 
This projects aims to design and implement a system which uses the object it’s on internal 
reference to compute the orientation of the objects and the angular velocities in the respective axis 
of rotation using MEMS (Micro Electromechanical System). This device is very crucial in aerial 
objects which need to follow a certain path. These devices are available in the market but due to 
their higher cost and their error, most of the devices gives false output which will cause the 
destruction of object or in worst they need external signals to guide them to follow a path. So, they 
are susceptible to hacking or loss of signal cause divergence in the actual path they need to follow. 
Through this project we aim to design a cost effective system which gives small bounded errors and 
also not relay on some external sources to guide them to follow a trajectory or a certain movement. 
Our system will provide the orientation and the angular speeds along the x(roll), y(pitch) and z(yaw) 
axis with accuracy and a fast rate of update with small errors. This is a prototype and it can be 
scaled on a large scale to be implemented in the jets or airplane once we have done enough testing 
to this system.
