Xsens is a leading developer and global supplier of 3D motion tracking products based upon miniature (MEMS) inertial sen-sor technology. Xsens can be divided into three business units: Industrial Applica- tions, Entertainment and Movement Sci- ence. In the summer of 2012, Xsens launched the 4th generation of the MTi. The new product portfolio consists of 7 different MTi?s, ranging from the reliable, low-cost MTi 10-series to the high performance MTi 100-series, allowing customers to always nd an MTi that ts their speci c requirements. All products share the same mechanical, electrical and communication interface, making switching between prod- ucts straightforward, should the application call for this. The MTi?s are speci cally de- signed to reject vibrations and to compen-sate for magnetic distortions. All MTi?s are available in three form factors. The MTi 10-series is a low-cost, yet reliable prod- uct based on a proven design and comes in three integration levels. The MTi-10 IMU provides sensor data only and is excellent for customers who design their own fusion algorithms. The MTi-20 VRU outputs roll, pitch and yaw rate while the MTi-30 AHRS outputs full 3D orientation. The MTi-100 series is Xsens? high per- formance and extremely versatile product, based on the latest gyroscopes and a pow- erful multi-core processing unit. The MTi- 100 series can serve as a cost-effective, low-weight, low-power replacement for optical gyros. Available MTi 100-series are the MTi-100 IMU, the MTi-200 VRU and the MTi-300 AHRS. In addition, the MTi-G 700 GPS/INS is a GPS-aided Inertial Navi- gation System, outputting 3D orientation, 3D position and velocity and dynamic data at a rate of up to 500 Hz.
