Paragraph section description

Drones, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and radio controlled (RC) vehicles are dependent on smart sensors for precise control and advanced capabilities. TDK’s high-performance sensors enable smooth movement, responsive control, and reliable automated behaviors even in temperature extremes and noisy environments.

TDK IMUs are integrated into many leading consumer drones, RC planes, and RC cars. Whether your drone or RC vehicle is used for professional image capture or fun, picking the right sensors is a key to delivering capabilities your customers will love.
