using angle pick-offs. Note that a conventional gyroscope measures orientation. In contrast nearly all modern gyroscopes (including the optical and MEMS types outlined in Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.3) are rate-gyros, which measure angular velocity. The main disadvantage of mechanical gyroscopes is that they contain moving parts. Moving parts
