Abstract (EN): Inertial measurement units (IMU) are, typically, a cluster of accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers. Its use was introduced with military applications, being, nowadays, widely common on industrial applications, namely robot navigation. Since there are a lot of units in different cost ranges, it is proposed, in this paper, a procedure to compare their performance in tracking tasks. Once IMU samples are unavoidably corrupted by systematic and stochastic errors, a calibration procedure (without any external equipment) to identify sensors¿ error models and a Kalman filter implementation to remove white noise are suggested. Then, the comparison is carried out over two trajectories, square and circular paths, respectively, being described by a robotic arm, which acts as reference. The results show that different manufacturing quality units can track, with success, orientation references but are incapable to perform position tracking activities. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
