High-precision inertial sensors

Built on a shared hardware foundation and adapted through intelligent software, the platform encompasses three variants – BMI560, BMI563 and BMI570. The BMI5 family products are addressing the premium segments of consumer electronics device manufacturers, building the base for the growing MEMS sensor market.

The BMI560 precisely tracks head movements with almost no delay, allowing users to interact naturally in 3D environments. Advanced image stabilisation helps smartphones and action cameras capture clear, shake-free photos and videos, even on the go.

The BMI563 is handling vibrations and extreme movements, making it ideal for robots that need to navigate precisely or for controllers in virtual reality that track every subtle hand gesture. It helps these devices understand their surroundings and movements with exceptional accuracy. For example, Bosch's new MEMS sensor helps a humanoid robot find the right way, even if the camera lens is covered by an object.

The BMI570 enhances smartwatches and wireless earbuds. Compared to its predecessor, the new platform delivers a doubled measurement range. This enables the detection of an even wider array of movements and gestures, particularly those in dynamic forms. For hearables it provides accurate head-orientation data for immersive 3D audio experiences. This means music or calls can sound like they're coming from a specific direction, reacting to how the user is moving.

An Edge-AI classification engine helps the device stay “always on” by recognising movement patterns directly inside the sensor. This uses less power, makes reactions faster, and adds smart benefits, for example, automatic activity detection on a smartwatch without the user needing to interact.

Across all variants, the BMI5 platform meets Bosch Sensortec’s highest ecological standards to date, combining technical performance with responsible innovation. This unified architecture enables device makers to streamline cutting-edge and at the same time a sustainable development across product lines.
