BMI423 IMU from Bosch Sensortec is a low-power inertial measurement unit designed for always-on sensing in wearables, hearables, and robotics. It combines an extended measurement range of ±32 g and ±4000 dps with on-sensor functions such as bone-conduction-based voice activity detection, gesture recognition, and step counting, while consuming as little as 25 µA in acceleration […]

Industrial Applications of Motion Sensing
At Sensors Expo 2012, David Gaber, product marketing manager for Sensor Products at Epson demonstrates the application of Epson’s S4E5A0A0 inertial motion unit (IMU) in oil pipelines and manufacturing automation. The IMU can detect leaks in an oil pipeline by detecting the pitch of a pipe section. In a robotic arm, the IMU shows its […]
Motion Sensing for Industrial Applications
At Sensors Expo 2012, David Gaber, product marketing manager for Sensor Products at Epson explains the company’s QMEMS, quartz-based MEMS technology and a 6 degrees of freedom motion sensor to Sensor Tips senior editor, Randy Frank. The S4E5A0A0 inertial motion unit (IMU) is a fully temperature compensated and calibrated unit for industrial applications. For more information […]
Sensing Three Axes of Linear and Angular Motion in a 20-mm Footprint
There seems to be an insatiable demand to sense motion in the latest portable electronic products. For those with limited space, STMicroelectronics LSM330DL Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensor could satisfy their requirements. In its 4 x 5 x 1mm plastic land grid array (LGA) package, the 6 degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) inertial MEMS module is almost twice as […]
