MTi-8
• Miniature form factor (12x12 mm)
• Cm-level accuracy
• Development Kit available
The MTi-8 is a cm-level GNSS/INS as a 12.1 x 12.1 mm
module with an interface to an external GNSS receiver.
The Xsens optimized strapdown algorithm (Attitu-
deEngineTM) performs high-speed dead-reckoning
calculations at 1 kHz allowing accurate capture of high
frequency motions. Xsens’ industry-leading sensor
fusion algorithm provides high accuracy and sensor
auto-calibration in a cost-effective module for a wide
range of (embedded) applications. It relieves users
from the design, integration and maintenance of gyro-
scopes, accelerometers and other sensors.
The MTi-8 is supported by the MT Software Suite which
includes MT Manager (GUI for Windows/Linux), SDK,
example codes and drivers for many platforms including
ROS.
