Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) made by TDK. It contains a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer, making it a 6-axis motion tracking device. One of its standout features is the presence of a Digital Motion Processor (DMP) that can offload complex computation of motion processing algorithms from the host processor. This IC typically communicates with a microcontroller using the I2C interface. The MPU-6050 is highly versatile and finds its application in different devices particularly in those related to motion tracking like drones, wearable devices, and motion-based gaming controllers.
