STMicro Unveils 6-axis IMU with Embedded Sensor Fusion and AI - News

Among the most fundamental trends in the consumer electronics industry today is the proliferation of sensors. For applications such the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, and AR/VR, sensing has been a core technology. As devices become embedded with more and more sensors, system developers face about how to best handle and fuse that data into a useful format. To address this issue, STMicroelectronics (ST) has recently released a new 6-axis IMU which includes a number of integrated features such as sensor fusion blocks and Machine Learning (ML) cores. In this article, we'll discuss sensor fusion, why it's a challenge, and how ST's new product hopes to enable low-power sensing applications.
