DARPA Funds Inertial Tracking In Shoes
The Register reports that Massachusetts Intersense announced a DARPA funded contract to work with Case Western university to deliver tiny yet highly accurate inertial-nav units under a programme called Micro Inertial Navigation Technology (MINT). The idea is to put the technology in shoes because the feet don’t bend and wriggle like the rest of the body, which improves accuracy. The larger vision is to use the tech in drones and robots that will do their work indoors and perhaps tag “persons on interest.”
