A gyroscope is a device used to measure and maintain orientation and angular velocity. It is a spinning wheel or disc wherein the spinning axis of rotation is free to assume any orientation by itself. While in rotation, the orientation of the axis remains unaffected by tilting and rotation of the mounting.
