What is the IMU Stands for?

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and

reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field
surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes,
sometimes also magnetometers. IMUs are typically used to maneuver aircraft,
including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), among many others, and spacecraft,
including satellites and landers. Recent developments allow for the production of
IMU-enabled GPS devices. An IMU allows a GPS receiver to work when GPS-
signals are unavailable, such as in tunnels, inside buildings, or when electronic
interference is present
