Plug and play configurability
Our products are highly configurable with all the data outputs and synchronization options you need to integrate them in your unique system architecture.
With the widest portfolio of plug and play modules on today’s market, featuring three different form factors with eight interface options, you can confidently build on your own needs and specs.
Dependable quality, real value
Robust 3D (ego)motion data, even under difficult (magnetic) conditions. Over 10 years of continuous improvements in sensor fusion algorithms, software, and component selection. Add to this, in-house testing, factory calibration to numerous standards, temperature bias-calibration to industrial standards, and sturdy construction to withstand extreme conditions.
So, our modules have a lot to offer without asking a lot in return. These cost-effective modules range from basic inertial measurement units (IMUs) – often used as building blocks because of their versatility – to advanced real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS-enabled solutions, providing positioning data of unmatched precision.

Functionalities
Inertial measurement unit (IMU)
An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a self-contained system that provides raw, calibrated sensor linear and angular motion data with a triad of gyroscopes and a triad of accelerometers. IMUs are often used as building blocks in more complex systems.
Vertical reference unit (VRU)
A vertical reference unit (VRU) measures roll, pitch, and (unreferenced) yaw. Its sensor-fused data level is used for dynamic positioning in a variety of contexts. VRUs are the perfect solution for locations with high magnetic interference, as they do not rely on magnetic referencing.
Attitude and heading reference system (AHRS)
An attitude and heading reference system, or AHRS, provides 3D orientation by integrating gyroscopes and fusing this data with accelerometer and magnetometer data. The yaw output is referenced to true north and the result is a drift-free orientation
Motion Reference Unit (MRU)
An MRU (Motion Reference Unit) is an inertial sensor system designed to measure roll, pitch, and heave motion on marine platforms. MRUs are used on vessels, offshore rigs, and underwater systems to monitor and compensate for movement caused by waves and vessel dynamics.
Real-time kinematic positioning (RTK GNSS/INS)
Real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning is a satellite navigation technology used to increase the precision of position data obtained from satellite positioning systems.
Applications
Surface and underwater robotics
Reliability and precision are of the utmost importance in this field. The robust hardware and software, along with the anti-magnetic distortion filters of the MTi series, make them a highly suitable, stable platform for motion technology applications at sea and in seaports.
Drones & UAVs
Aerospace and drone applications require ever-increasing accuracy and precision. Whether you need low-power consumption, low-latency, high-speed processing, or a lightweight and small motion tracking sensor, you’ll find a fit for any aviation, air, or space application.
Humanoid Robots
Humanoid robots are leaving the lab and entering the real world. To walk, run, and recover like humans, they need more than programmed motion, they need reliable balance control. Xsens industrial-grade IMUs provide accurate orientation and state estimation data for dynamic balance control, gait optimization, and fall prevention.
Outdoor Mobile Robotics
Maintain precise orientation and position in rough terrain, dense vegetation, or GNSS-challenged environments. Movella’s MTi series IMUs deliver stable, centimeter-level navigation data for automated and semi-autonomous vehicles — ensuring consistent performance season after season.
