Rugged IMUs for autonomous robotics applications

16-05-2025 | Mouser Electronics | Test & Measurement

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now offers the Sirius rugged inertial measurement units (IMUs) from Xsens/Movella. These IMUs are advanced industrial-grade, purpose-built, inertial sensors for critical data in autonomous systems in industrial, marine, mobile robotics, precision agriculture, and 3D mapping and surveying applications.

These IMUs are IP68-rated devices providing an advanced signal pipeline with analog filtering, assuring high vibration resistance for precise measurements in extreme vibration environments. The IMUs dual-processor compact plug-and-play design delivers accurate orientation data, with excellent resistance against magnetic disturbances and easy integration into existing designs. The IMUs' MIL-standard IP68 housing is also resistant to temperature extremes (-40C to +85C), humidity, salt spray, sand, dust, shock, pressure, and EMI, delivering accurate measurements even in extreme conditions.

The Sirius rugged IMUs are supported by the Sirius AHRS/VRU/IMU development kit, also available from Mouser. A comprehensive software application suite for the Sirius rugged IMUs streamlines seamless integration with a user-friendly SDK, free global assistance from expert field application engineers, and compatibility with a strong partner network (NVIDIA/HESAI/ROS/Matlab). The IMUs are the new standard for precise 3D orientation data for autonomous systems, engineered for unmatched performance and reliability in the harshest conditions.
