New Gyroscope Design Will Help Autonomous Cars and Robots Map the World

Good news!

"Researchers ... have presented a paper ... on a new type of of gyroscope called a precision shell integrating (PSI) gyroscope, ... It offers the performance of much larger gyroscopes at one thousandth the cost, meaning that high-precision location awareness, indoor navigation, and long-term autonomy may soon be much more achievable for mobile devices and underground robots. ...
