Zusammenfassung:Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to automate multi-point inertial sensor calibration. Example apparatus disclosed herein includes a calibration path determiner to determine a calibration path for a machine to follow during calibration of the inertial sensors, the calibration path including a first point of a calibration measurement path, a second point of the calibration measurement path. The example apparatus disclosed herein includes an automated steerer to control steering of the machine on the calibration path during the calibration of the inertial sensors. The example apparatus disclosed herein includes a data recorder to record pitch and roll measurements from the inertial sensors as the machine follows the calibration path between the first point of the calibration measurement path and the second point of the calibration measurement path. The example apparatus disclosed herein includes a sensor bias determiner to determine calibration results for the inertial sensors.
