The development of fiber-optic and electronic components has led to a significant widening of their application scope, in particular in the construction of ground vehicles navigation systems. Often, such systems have the special performance requirements under difficult temperature conditions: the environment temperature changing rate in some cases may reach several °C/min. One of the key elements of a navigation system is a fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG). The harsh environmental conditions increase the demands on production technology of the FOG, on the choice of construction materials, on the arrangement and shape of the parts, etc., however, in order to decrease temperature effects influence on the output signal of the device, the use of special algorithmic compensation methods is also required. Algorithmic compensation requires careful preparation of input data, which is associated with extensive experimental work. This article analyses the FOG temperature dependence characteristics in the wake of the designated experimental preparation for algorithmic compensation.

The approach as a concept for automated experimental research conducting under management of a controller and a research program control system is stated in the article. Method of robotic tools using to perform experiments with the replacement of the investigated objects without researcher participation is considered in a concept. Variant for automatic revision of the experiment schedule based on preliminary measurements and their evaluation, including analysis of preliminary results using criteria for accuracy and validity of expected results has been considered. The essence of the concept is shown and implementation examples of the concept have been resented upon automation of experimental research. Advantages and prospects of the proposed approach are shown, in particular the authors believe that experimental studies robotization will enable to evaluate and improve the accuracy and validity of the research results; as well as concept is useful for many types and directions of experimental investigations as aimed at human and economic costs reducing, research tasks solution acceleration.
