About Sirius IMU
Xsens Sirius IMU is the inertial-measurement member of the rugged Sirius sensor family. It outputs calibrated angular velocity, acceleration and magnetic-field measurements, with strapdown integration for applications that need high-rate motion data. The aluminium unit supports RS232, RS422, CAN and CAN-FD interfaces, output rates up to 2 kHz, and a 400 Hz strapdown-integration stream.
The IMU is designed for robots, vehicles, marine systems and mapping equipment exposed to vibration, shock, temperature extremes or magnetic disturbance. Its IP68-equivalent housing and specified -40°C to 85°C operating range address harsh installations, while downstream navigation remains the responsibility of the host system. Position, heading and attitude solutions require the appropriate Sirius variant or external sensor fusion, correct mounting, timing, calibration and application-level validation.
Timeline
- Xsens launches Sirius flagship inertial sensor series for mobile robotics and autonomy
2024-11-19 - Product Launch - Xsens launched the Sirius Series as the successor to the MTi 100-Series, with IMU, VRU, and AHRS capabilities aimed at demanding movement environments. The release positioned Sirius for land-based mobile robotics, UAVs, marine robotics, and precision agriculture, with strong vibration resistance and rugged IP68 housing. Xsens said the new series was designed for accurate navigation and stabilization in AMRs, AGVs, ROVs, AUVs, and other autonomous systems.
