Xsens Technologies B.V. (or Xsens) is a supplier of 3D motion capture products based upon miniature MEMS inertial sensor technology. The company has created intellectual property in the field of multi-sensor data fusion algorithms, combining inertial sensors with aiding technologies such as GPS, Motion capture and biomechanical modeling. Xsens is an Mcube company, delivering solutions for the mobile, industrial, cloud, automotive, lighting, and computing industries.
Xsens has offices in Enschede (headquarter), the Netherlands, Los Angeles, California and Hong Kong
History
The company was founded in 2000 by Casper Peeters and Per Slycke, both University of Twente graduates. Following work in measurement of the performance of athletes, they specialized in sensor technologies and sensor fusion algorithms. The company developed Inertial measurement units or AHRS (MTi-series and MTx) and human movement measurement systems (a complete wireless system MTw Awinda, the successor of the Xbus Kit). In 2007 Xsens introduced an inertial motion capture system called "Moven" (renamed to Xsens MVN[1] in 2009). In 2009 Xsens introduced the MVN BIOMECH system, a motion capture system for 3D human kinematics used in fields such as ergonomics, spots science and rehabilitation. In 2017 both Xsens MVN and MVN BIOMECH were renamed to Xsens MVN Analyze and Xsens MVN Animate.
In 2008, Xsens acquired Utellus, a spin-off from telecom company Ericsson's EuroLab, specializing in applications of ultra wide band RF technology[2].
