Offer Industrial-Grade Real-time Measurement

Particularly, the highly compact Xsens MTi sensors (IMU) are popular for their high accuracy, reliability, and low latency, even under adverse conditions. They provide industrial-grade, real-time measurements of motion, orientation, and global position (GNSS). This function is critical for navigating and controlling a wide range of mobile robots and smart automation applications, whether aerial, land-based, or subsea.

Mainly, the Xsens MTi inertial sensors offer compatibility with the powerful AI capabilities of the NVIDIA Jetson platform. Thus, they will help customers bring their intelligent and autonomous systems faster to the market.

Easy Integration with NVIDIA Jetson Orin

The easy integration of NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules with Xsens MTi sensors will help enable more intelligent and efficient autonomous systems. Movella is a member of the NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN).

“The mobile robot market is undergoing massive growth and transformation as autonomous platforms such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) get widely adopted indoors and outdoors. Collaborating with NVIDIA on the Jetson platform integration has helped us advance the use of Xsens MTi sensors in mobile robotics and edge AI,” said Meindert Zeeuw, Director of the “Automation & Mobility” Line of Business at Movella.

“The seamless integration of Xsens MTi’s precise and real-time data with NVIDIA Jetson’s accelerated computing capabilities will help innovators further in developing systems that can navigate, perceive, and interact with their environments with even more accuracy and agility.”

This integration highlights the momentum of the industrial inertial sensor market. Particularly, this is true in logistics (autonomous robots, autonomous vehicles) and sea-based (ROV/AUV) applications. This segment has a projected 16% CAGR expected from 2021 to 2027, reaching an estimated value of USD 1.1 billion.

Mainly, Movella’s work underscores the industry’s rapid innovation and adoption of industrial inertial sensors. Also, It positions the company to drive transformative advancements in intelligent automation within industrial applications.
