Innovative Inertial Sensors for Autonomous Machines and Edge AI

The highly compact Xsens MTi sensors, also known as Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), have gained a reputation for their exceptional accuracy, reliability, and low latency, even in challenging conditions. These sensors deliver real-time measurements of motion, orientation, and global position (GNSS), essential for the precise navigation and control of various mobile robots and smart automation systems, whether they operate in the air, on land, or underwater.

Moreover, the Xsens MTi sensors are designed to seamlessly integrate with the powerful AI capabilities of the NVIDIA Jetson platform. This integration empowers customers to expedite the development of intelligent and autonomous systems, bringing them to market more efficiently.

The collaboration between NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules and Xsens MTi sensors represents a significant step towards enhancing the intelligence and efficiency of autonomous systems. Movella, a member of the NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN), is at the forefront of leveraging this integration to drive innovation in the field of mobile robotics and edge AI.

Meindert Zeeuw, Director of the "Automation & Mobility" Line of Business at Movella, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating, "The mobile robot market is experiencing rapid growth and transformation with the widespread adoption of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in various environments. Our partnership with NVIDIA on the Jetson platform integration has allowed us to leverage Xsens MTi sensors effectively in mobile robotics and edge AI applications."

This strategic integration not only underscores the momentum in the industrial inertial sensor market but also highlights its significance in logistics (autonomous robots and vehicles) and sea-based applications (ROV/AUV). With a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16% from 2021 to 2027, this market segment is expected to reach a value of approximately USD 1.1 billion. Movella's commitment to driving innovation in industrial automation positions the company as a key player in advancing intelligent automation solutions.
