About

About BHI360 Smart IMU

BHI360 combines a six-axis inertial sensor with a programmable 32-bit processor inside a 2.5 by 3 millimetre package. The device measures acceleration and angular velocity, then runs Bosch sensor-fusion and motion algorithms locally. Processing data within the sensor reduces the volume of raw measurements sent to the host processor and lowers system power demand.

Developers can configure the embedded software through Bosch’s development environment and add application-specific algorithms for orientation, gesture, activity and motion tracking. The device operates from a 1.8 V supply and is intended for compact connected products, wearables, controllers and embedded motion systems. Its programmable architecture also supports robotics and industrial sensing designs with constrained space and compute budgets.

Context

Market context

BHI360 is Bosch Sensortec's programmable smart 6-axis IMU, combining inertial sensing, onboard processing, and sensor-fusion software in a compact low-power package.

  • Target environment: Compact embedded systems, wearables, XR devices, mobile robots, small drones, and motion-tracking products where low-power local motion processing matters.
  • Workflow context: Orientation tracking, gesture detection, embedded sensor fusion, motion-state estimation, and low-level inertial input for control and perception systems.
  • Customer context: Embedded-device manufacturers, robotics developers, electronics integrators, XR hardware teams, and product teams using compact MEMS sensing.
  • Deployment model: Component-level integration through sensor APIs, firmware, development tools, and embedded hardware design into customer boards and devices.
  • Commercial maturity: Commercial smart-sensor product with public documentation, ordering channels, SDK references, and Bosch Sensortec support materials.
  • Adoption constraints: Adoption depends on embedded firmware integration, calibration, power-budget fit, board-level design constraints, and software compatibility with the target motion stack.
  • Market position: Smart inertial sensing component that belongs in the robotics sensing supply chain, not as a standalone robotics platform.
  • Adjacent products: ICM-42688-P 6-Axis IMU, MTi-680G GNSS/INS, UST-10LX Scanning Rangefinder
