Xsens Avior Applications:

Camera/Payload Stabilization

Ensure stable imagery and payload control in dynamic conditions, including SATCOM-on-the-move platforms. Get real-time orientation and heading data to optimize pointing, tracking, and stabilization systems.

Marine

Achieve precise navigation and stabilization for surface (buoys, vessels, platforms) and sub-surface robotics (ROVs and AUVs). Obtain reliable heading and roll/pitch data and support for bathymetry mapping.

Mobile robotics

Enable precise navigation for both indoor (AMRs/AGVs) and outdoor mobile robots operating used in agriculture, mining, construction or logistics.

3D mapping and surveying

Support high-fidelity data capture and georeferencing for aerial, terrestrial, and subsea bathymetry mapping. Create accurate maps and 3D models using Sonar, LIDAR, and camera systems.

Humanoid Robotics

Enable precise balance, navigation, and motion control for humanoid and bipedal robots. Avior provides stable inertial data critical for complex movement, dynamic stability, and real-world interaction.
