AI overview
A gyroscope is a spinning object mounted in a way that allows it to rotate freely in all directions while maintaining the orientation of its spin axis. This property makes gyroscopes useful for navigation and stabilization systems, since the spinning rotor resists changes to its direction regardless of how the outer frame moves around it.
