1.Introdcution (Background + need of the product)

They are based on inertia

Key concepts: moment of inertia, rotational inertia


1.Introduction (II)

1.1 What are they?

Inertially Stabilized Systems are systems that through inertia are used to:

Stabilizaise objects

Stablish new systems of reference

Send data about movement and position


1.Introduction (III)

1.2 Gyroscopes and gimbals

Gyroscope Gyroscope + Gimbal Axis defined in a rotating wheel

(Roll, pitch, yaw)




1.Introduction (IV)

1.3 Types of ISS

Gyros and gimbals

Accelerometers


2. Abridged Story

Second World War, the biggest stimulus

Missiles, bombs and all kind of aircrafts.

2. Abridged Story (II)

Space Career was also a great impulse.

Guidance Systems are also related.

3. System Structure

Modern platforms have complex structures but we can always identify simple patterns.

4. Involved technologies

Computers and programming

Electronics

Warfare

Optics

Imaging

Mechanics and engenering

Among others


5. Actual uses

Photographing and imaging

Movement sensors


5. Actual uses (II)

Military uses


5. Actual uses (III)

Spacecraft

Aircraft and navigation


6. Societal implications and business model

The use of ISS is widely spread around the world

As a technology alone they are useless, whilst if combined with others they have great potential

Its use has increased with the arrival of smartphones and with the release of the first robots in the markets.

Accelerometers are cheap and small, however the use of gyros and gimbals makes ISS sophisticated and quite expensive.

Summary of uses and applications:


• Photographing and imaging • Warfare • Movement sensors

• Spacecraft • Aircraft and navigation

7. ISS in the future

Open field with lots of applications.

Big interest in R&D.

Robots need them to have its own reference system

8. Conclusion

Despite being used as weapons in the past, actually we are beginning to use them for entertainment (smartphones, mass media), research (satellites, navigation…)…

As the robotic era approaches, ISS are determined to form part of it by ensuring stabilization and giving chance of having your own system of reference.
