Abstract

In this chapter, first a historical outline of the theory of gyroscopes is given. Elements of gyroscope classification are introduced, and then the evolution of the gyroscope concept is presented. In particular, the following gyroscope-type devices are considered: the directional gyroscope, the gyroscopic vertical, the stabilized gyroscopic platform, the laser gyroscope, the fiber-optic gyroscope, the piezoelectric gyroscope, the fork gyroscope, and the microgyroscope with a spinning disk and with a vibrating ring. Examples of devices for gyroscopic navigation and an observation device with a built-in gyroscope are provided. Finally, new challenges for gyroscopes are briefly summarized.
