There is a sensor like MPU6050 which has both accelerometer and gyroscope and it works as an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to find the orientation, position, and velocity. A gyroscope is used to measure angular velocity that uses the earth’s gravity to determine the orientation of the object in motion. While Accelerometer can measure linear acceleration, the gyroscope can help find the rotational acceleration. We all know about accelerometer and gyroscope, they are primarily used to detect acceleration.
