Xsens / Movella Vision Navigator

Xsens / Movella Vision Navigator is a dual RTK GNSS/INS and a vision-enabled navigation unit that incorporates various sensors, including two multi-band RTK GNSS receivers, a camera, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and wheel odometry. The Xsens / Movella vision navigator uses the sensors to track accurate 3D position, velocity, and orientation in challenging outdoor environments and during GNSS outages. This navigator uses Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) technology for impressive dead-reckoning performance. The position drift is distance-dependent and not time-dependent. The dual-antenna and built-in IMU provide reliable heading information even at low velocities or standing still. The vision navigator is fully compatible with the ROS driver.

The vision navigator can accept wheel odometry data and has internal recording memory. This navigator is IP67 rated. Typical applications include mobile robots, vehicles, and drones.
