Abstract
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for maintaining gyroscopic sensor accuracy over time and across changing environmental conditions. In certain aspects, the present disclosure provides arrangements and methods for calibrating a gyroscope while it is positioned on a robotic platform. In particular, the gyroscope may positioned on a sensor platform that is moved through a series of known or measured rotations and then the gyroscope signals are compared to reference data and the sensor's gain and offset calculated. In other aspects, the present disclosure provides arrangements and methods for utilizing measurements from multiple gyroscopes that measure the same axis of rotation.
