Abstract

Designed system for microelectromechanical sensors testing before use them in the unmanned aerial vehicle navigation systems. System allows
to perform fully automated tests of microelectromechanical gyroscopes, accelerometers, pressure and magnetic field sensors that include determination of errors, comparison with allowable values from sensors documentation and, depending on the result, calculation of calibration coefficients if necessary or marking the sensor as faulty. Such automated testing allows to reduce time, required for manual testing and allows to remove human factor in test results. Experimental results shows that designed testing equipment allows to calibrate microelectromechanical sensors without necessity of performing test flights that reduces the risk of unmanned aerial vehicle damaging in case of significant measurement errors.
