The advancements in inertial sensing technology are pivotal in shaping the future of navigation, control, and stabilization systems. Movella, a leader in 3D motion tracking technology, has developed a range of high-performance sensor modules: the MTi-100, MTi-200, MTi-300, and MTi-710 series, which all belong to the MTi-100 series. The entire series is equipped with a housing with IP67 protection. Each module is designed to meet the specific demands of various applications across different industries.
MTi-100: Precision Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
The MTi-100 series offers a robust IMU solution for applications requiring calibrated data on the 3D rate of turn, acceleration, and magnetic field. As part of the MTi 100-series, the MTi-100 features best-in-class vibration-rejecting gyroscopes, guaranteeing high-quality orientation data, even in challenging environments. Possible Applications:
- Navigation: AGV, ROV, USV, AG-Tech, Logistics (Delivery robot), Drone
- 3D Position, Orientation, & Velocity: LIDAR-/Camera mapping on drones, handheld, pipe crawler
- Stabilization: VSAT, Antenna, Marine vessel, Gimbal, Camera
MTi-200: Vertical Reference Unit (VRU)
The MTi-200 series steps up by providing VRU capabilities, essential for maintaining accurate vertical reference and stabilization. Its sensors and sensor fusion algorithm measure roll, pitch, and (unreferenced) yaw. Possible Applications:
- Navigation: AGV-AMR, warehousing (indoor)
- 3D Position, Orientation, & Velocity: construction automation (indoor)
- Stabilization: VSAT, Antenna, Marine vessel, Gimbal, Camera
MTi-300: Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)
For applications that demand comprehensive orientation and heading data, the MTi-300 series is the go-to solution. Its sensors and sensor fusion algorithm deliver data on drift-free roll, pitch, and true-north-referenced yaw. Possible Applications:
- Navigation: ROV, AUV, Beacon (subsea)
- Stabilization: VSAT, Antenna, Marine vessel, Gimbal, Camera
MTi-710: GNSS/INS for Integrated Navigation
The MTi-710 series combines an IMU with GNSS/INS with an SMA connector for connecting a GNSS antenna to the internal GNSS receiver. The data from the internal GNSS receiver enables the algorithm to determine robust roll and pitch, no matter the accelerations and velocities. The MTi-G-710 can produce reliable and accurate heading information without having to rely on magnetometers by using the data provided by the internal GNSS receiver. Possible Applications:
- Navigation: AGV, ROV, USV, AG-Tech, Logistics (Delivery robot), Drone
- 3D Position, Orientation, & Velocity: LIDAR-/Camera mapping on drones, handheld, pipe crawler
Xsens' MTi series offers a comprehensive suite of sensor modules tailored to meet the diverse needs of modern navigation and motion tracking applications. From the foundational IMU capabilities of the MTi-100 to the integrated GNSS/INS solutions of the MTi-710, Xsens ensures that each module provides the accuracy, reliability, and performance required by today's advanced systems.
