The new standard in OEM inertial sensors

VRU

The Xsens Avior VRU is our highest-performing vertical reference unit with an OEM form factor. It delivers reliable 3D orientation tracking with high-quality calibrated roll, pitch, and (unreferenced) yaw data.

Compact & Lightweight

The Xsens Avior has a low SWaP-C design - without sacrificing robustness. Ideal for drones, robotics, marine, and mobile mapping - where every gram and millimetre matter.

Flexible integration

Broad system compatibility via UART, with flexible protocol support including RS232, RS422, CAN, and more - all configurable through firmware. OEM form factor for compact or embedded systems.
