The development of IMU could be dated back to the 1930s; the first application of IMU was in the aircraft industry, to measure airborne position for aircraft navigation and other large equipment like ballistic missiles and aircrafts. At that time, due to its big size, high cost and big power consumption, IMU usage was limited to big batch applications, and therefore, was not welcomed by small size devices and low consumer applications. From 1960’s, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) started to be studied outside of the researching laboratory, then they were commercialized from 1980’s, they were implemented in diverse and wide areas. MEMS technology fabricates tiny integrated devices or system that combine mechanical and electrical components, with size from several micrometers to millimeters. Following introduction of MEMS technology, IMUs have become compact and consuming less processing power with lower cost, and they expanded to various fields, such as medical equipment, rob
