At XPONENTIAL 2017, Inertial Sense announces the release of the world's smallest GPS aided inertial navigation system set for this summer
The μINS is a tiny sensor module that is designed to provide high-quality direction, position, and velocity data for drones and robotic applications.
DALLAS, May 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Inertial Sense announced today at XPONENTIAL that they will be releasing a high-quality, low-cost navigation system later this summer: the "μINS". Historically, quality GPS inertial navigation has been expensive and were only designed into a small number of systems. As the commercial and consumer drone industries grow, the need for an accurate, low-cost navigation system has become more apparent. Inertial Sense engineers have invented a patent pending design that enables this technology to be smaller and less expensive than any commercial predecessor.
The μINS is a tiny sensor module that is designed to provide high-quality direction, position, and velocity data for drones and robotic applications. It provides this data by fusing sensor data from GPS (GNSS), gyros, accelerometers, magnetometers, and a barometric pressure sensor. Inertial Sense employees will be displaying the μINS at their XPONENTIAL booth (#2011) for the duration of the show. All attendees at the show are invited to visit their booth and see this new and revolutionary technology. Other interested parties should visit inertialsense.com for more information.
Inertial Sense is a privately-owned US company that specializes in designing and manufacturing low-cost, high-performance GPS inertial navigation technology for commercial and consumer products.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
