Motion tracking modules for volume apps

Motion tracking technology specialist Xsens has released a series of self-contained 3D motion tracking modules for high volume industrial and 'prosumer' applications. The parts are said to be suitable for use in attitude and heading reference systems, vertical reference units and inertial measurement units

The MTi 1-series is said to feature the latest in advanced sensor fusion and miniature MEMS technologies, but at low cost. MTi 1 devices are said to be individually calibrated and tested to enable minimal implementation effort. Each part offers a dynamic accuracy of 1° RMS for roll and pitch, which the company claims will make them the most accurate 3D motion trackers in their class.

Each MTi 1 module measures 12 x 12 x 2.5mm and can output orientation, acceleration, rate of turn and magnetic field data via its I2C, SPI or UART interfaces. The advanced and robust signal processing pipeline, along with the XKF3 sensor fusion algorithm, is said to ensure high performance in a range of applications. Onboard processing reduces the load on the application processor, cutting overall system power consumption.
