Motion Tracking Modules

Embedded Technology INSIDER

Xsens (Enschede, The Netherlands) recently expanded its successful 4th generation MTi product portfolio by releasing a new series of complete, self- contained 3D IMU/VRU/AHRS motion tracking modules for high volume industrial and prosumer applications. Individually calibrated and tested to enable minimal implementation effort, the MTi 1-series delivers a dynamic accuracy of 1 deg RMS for roll and pitch, making them the most accurate 3D motion trackers in their class. The MTi 1-series is a 12x12x2.5 mm PLCC28-compatible module that can output orientation, acceleration, rate of turn and magnetic field from its I2C, SPI or UART interfaces. The advanced and robust signal processing pipeline, along with the proven XKF3 sensor fusion algorithm, ensures unmatched performance in many applications including robotics, agriculture, heavy machinery, handheld laser scanners and drones.
