Movella, a prominent provider of comprehensive solutions for capturing movement digitally, has announced significant enhancements to its Xsens MTi™ inertial sensor modules tailored for autonomous machines and edge AI applications. These advanced sensors seamlessly integrate with the NVIDIA Jetson™ platform, including the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin™, NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ NX, and NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano™ system-on-modules.
The compact Xsens MTi sensors, also known as IMUs, are celebrated for their exceptional precision, reliability, and low latency, even in challenging environments. They deliver real-time, industrial-grade measurements of motion, orientation, and global position (GNSS), crucial for the navigation and control of diverse mobile robots and smart automation solutions—whether airborne, ground-based, or subsea.
By harnessing the robust AI capabilities of the NVIDIA Jetson platform, the Xsens MTi inertial sensors empower customers to accelerate the deployment of intelligent and autonomous systems.
The seamless integration of NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules with Xsens MTi sensors promises to enhance the intelligence and efficiency of autonomous systems significantly. Movella, a member of the NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN), emphasizes the pivotal role of this collaboration in advancing the adoption of Xsens MTi sensors in mobile robotics and edge AI applications.
Meindert Zeeuw, Director of Movella’s “Automation & Mobility” Line of Business, highlighted, “The collaboration with NVIDIA on integrating Xsens MTi sensors with the Jetson platform underscores our commitment to advancing mobile robotics and edge AI. This integration enables precise, real-time data from Xsens MTi sensors to leverage NVIDIA Jetson’s accelerated computing capabilities, empowering innovators to develop systems that navigate, perceive, and interact with their environments with heightened accuracy and agility.”
This integration reflects the growing momentum of the industrial inertial sensor market, particularly in logistics (autonomous robots, autonomous vehicles) and sea-based applications (ROV/AUV). This segment is projected to grow at a robust 16% CAGR from 2021 to 2027, reaching an estimated value of USD 1.1 billion. Movella’s advancements underscore its commitment to driving transformative innovations in intelligent automation within industrial applications.
