We propose a scheme to realize rotation sensing through the use of optical lattices with laser-assisted tunneling. We theoretically demonstrate that competition between the rotation and the spin-orbit coupling governs the spin-dependent response of the cyclotron dynamics of the spin-orbit coupled bosons. The Sagnac-type cumulative phase can be read out from the envelope of a beat-frequency time evolution of the population imbalance in the spin-balanced system and enhanced by cyclotron motion. We also theoretically show that the sensitivity limit of the spin-orbit–coupled system to rotational motion can reach
