Drift & bias
Temperature, bias instability and integration error can turn small inertial offsets into large pose errors.

The integration bottleneck
Raw IMU data is not yet state.
Drift accumulates. Vibration aliases into motion. Magnetic disturbances corrupt heading. Then the host computer inherits calibration, filtering, time alignment and middleware. Olive moves that work to the sensing node, so downstream control receives structured data instead of a signal-cleaning project.
Noise & vibration
Structural resonance, impacts and magnetic interference demand adaptive—not static—signal treatment.
Time & wrappers
Unsynchronized clocks and custom drivers make multi-node measurements difficult to compare and reproduce.

Clean the stream where it is born.
On-device adaptive filtering, feature extraction, sensor fusion, confidence estimation and time-series inference reduce the raw-data burden on the host while preserving temporal context.

Distributed time fabric
One event. One timestamp.
IEEE 1588 PTP aligns sensor clocks to a grandmaster. Source timestamps stay attached through acquisition, fusion and DDS publication, so measurements from limbs, tools or machine axes can describe the same physical instant.
Sub-microsecond synchronization is an Olive product specification under appropriate PTP-capable hardware and topology. End-to-end results depend on the complete network, controller and configuration.

Robot-native output
No custom wrapper between measurement and control.
On power-up, the sensing node joins the ROS 2 graph and publishes standard motion data over DDS. Engineers can consume source-timed raw and fused signals with familiar tools, QoS and diagnostics.
Engineering use notice: integration into rehabilitation, medical, human-rated or safety-critical products requires independent system validation, risk analysis and applicable certification by the integrator.
