Las Vegas, NV -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/11/2018 --Inertial Elements introduces a new Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) sensor - The Osmium MIMU22BL – at this year's 2018 Consumer Electronics Show. The Osmium MIMU22BL, which is based on InvenSense 9-axis IMU ICM-20948, is a miniaturized motion sensing multi-IMU (MIMU) platform for shoe-based real-time indoor pedestrian localization in GPS denied environment. It finds applications in indoor real-time location systems (RTLS) for industrial workers and first responders. It also has applications in urban mapping, gait analysis, AR/VR etc.
The Osmium MIMU22BL is a smart IoT sensor node, capable of providing simplified yet information-rich data, thereby relieving application platform and developers from the compute-intensive development and tasks. This greatly simplifies data interface and makes integration of this device with rest of the localization system, effortless.
The battery operable device, with a footprint of 20x25mm, hosts a powerful microcontroller for solving complex navigation equations and Bluetooth Low Energy 4.1 for wireless data transmission. The device also includes on-board battery charging circuitry, power on/off switch, LED indicators for power status, battery charging etc.
"We are pleased to announce the release of PDR sensor - The Osmium MIMU22BL - which is based on InvenSense's 9-axis IMU ICM-20948 and offers significantly better performance in terms of tracking, power and overall user experience, as compared to its predecessor MIMU22B9. InvenSense is a world leader in MEMS sensor platforms. We have been using InvenSense 9-axis IMUs for quite some time and are greatly satisfied with their performance. Their timely support helped us in swift development and saved precious time to market." said Amit K Gupta, CEO at Inertial Elements.
"InvenSense delivers the lowest power, smallest size, and highest performance 9-axis IMU enabling our wearable, IoT, and mobile customers to solve all their accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer related sensor applications efficiently and at a lower BOM price solution. Inertial Elements' smart solution for indoor pedestrian localization has gained a lot of appreciation from their users. We are glad that they chose our 9-axis IMU ICM-20948 for their niche wearable PDR sensor." said David A. Almoslino, Senior Director, Corporate Marketing at InvenSense.
