            Xsens MTi-8 RTK GNSS/INS Module
                    Movella’s Xsens MTi-8 module offers centimeter-level accuracy and smooth positioning in a small form factor
    

Movella’s Xsens MTi-8 centimeter-accurate GNSS/INS 12.1 mm x 12.1 mm module features an interface for an external real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS receiver. The optimized strapdown algorithm (AttitudeEngine™) performs high-speed dead-reckoning calculations at 1 kHz allowing accurate capture of high-frequency motions. Xsens’ excellent sensor fusion algorithm provides high accuracy and sensor auto-calibration in a cost-effective module for a wide range of (embedded) applications.

The MTi-8 series module relieves users from the design, integration, and maintenance of gyroscopes, accelerometers, and other sensors. It 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.
