© с сайта ТПУ TOMSK, Oct 11 – RIA Tomsk. Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) and Scientific Research Institute of Semiconductor Devices
(SRISR) develop intelligent module for navigation systems and navigation of
transport which allows to define location and a path of movement of objects
without satellite GLONASS or GPS systems, the press service of TPU reports on
Wednesday.
It is specified that the developed
independent module will allow to orient the movement of cars, unmanned aerial
vehicles and submarines without appeal to satellite systems and will replace
foreign analogs, at the same time polytechnics found a way to make the module
more compact.
"There is a requirement in
(non-satellite) domestic systems of navigation for transport of civil and
special purpose. By the end of 2019 we will present a sample of the intelligent
module on the basis of microelectromechanical sensors, it will already form the
basis of systems of navigation", – the press service quotes the associate
professor of Department of Precision Instrumentation of TPU Tamara Nesterenko.
Inertial sensors are at the heart of
the development: gyroscope and accelerometer fix the angular and linear
movement of an object, and magnetometer defines parts of the world. Foreign
analogs, as a rule, consist of three gyroscopes, three accelerometers and three
magnetometers. Polytechnics found a way to reduce the number of sensors to two.

"Only two sensors will enter
the module. One combines functions of a gyroscope and an accelerometer, the
second is a magnetometer. The area of the module will be within several square
millimeters … It is relevant, for example, for the staff of the Ministry of
Emergency Situations. It will be possible to monitor movements of firefighters
in the burning structures", – words of the engineer of Department of
Precision Instrumentation of TPU Evgeny Barbin are cited in the message.
The development is already protected
by five patents, the last is received in the summer of 2017. The project got
support according to the Federal target program "Research and Development
in Priority Areas of Development of the Russian Scientific and Technological
Complex for 2014-2020" for the total amount of 45 million rubles.
