Gyroscopic stabilization technology gives the UAV drone its smooth flying capabilities. The gyroscope works almost instantly to the forces moving against the drone, keeping it flying or hovering smoothly. It provides essential navigational information to the flight controller.

The IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) detects the current rate of acceleration using one or more accelerometers. The IMU detects the changes in rotational attributes like pitch, yaw, and roll using one or more gyroscopes. Sometimes a magnetometer is also used with the IMU to assist with calibration against orientation drift. Gyroscope is a component of IMU and IMU is an essential component of the Flight controller which is the central brain of the drone.
