Inertial Motion Intelligence

Every move.
Understood.

Olive combines patented Multi-Redundant MEMS technology, AI-based sensor fusion and source-accurate timing to deliver fast, accurate and low-latency inertial state directly to the robot.

The inner feedback loop

Commanded motion is not
measured motion.

Motors express intent. The IMU measures what the body actually did—rotation, acceleration, impact, tilt and vibration—so the estimator and controller can close the loop around reality.

From sensing to inertial intelligence

The IMU feels motion.
The AHRS understands it.

Accelerometers and gyroscopes observe specific force and angular rate. An AHRS combines them—optionally with magnetic heading and other references—to estimate a usable attitude state.

Estimates orientation and heading

Sensor fusion tracks a quaternion or roll, pitch and yaw while estimating bias, gravity and uncertainty. Magnetic heading remains environment-dependent.

Multi-Redundant MEMS · Patented technology

One motion.
Multiple independent observations.

Olive’s patented Multi-Redundant MEMS architecture observes the same physical event across parallel inertial channels. olixAI compares residuals, isolates inconsistent data and publishes an accurate, confidence-aware motion state.

olixAI™ Inertial Motion Intelligence

Raw motion in.
Decision-ready intelligence out.

olixAI performs adaptive, AI-based sensor fusion directly at the sensor edge—combining inertial observations, temporal context and diagnostics into a fast, accurate and confidence-aware state with minimal transport delay.

The right value at the wrong time
is the wrong state.

Fast dynamics require both a high update rate and a trustworthy timestamp. X2 processes motion locally, attaches time at the source and aligns distributed nodes through hardware-assisted IEEE 1588 PTP.

Built for every kind of motion

The inner sense of
every moving robot.

Wherever stability, orientation, motion phase or dynamic response matters, inertial state becomes a foundational input to estimation and control.

01 / HUMANOID ROBOTS

Whole-body state

Torso and pelvis attitude, limb dynamics, balance recovery, fall detection and synchronized segment motion.

02 / LEGGED ROBOTS

Dynamic balance

Base attitude, gait transition, impact response, foot-slip cues and high-rate state during aggressive locomotion.

03 / EXOSKELETONS & WEARABLES

Segment kinematics

Gait phase, joint-chain orientation and repeatable correlation with force plates or clinical references.

04 / AMR & AGV

Slip-aware navigation

Heading, tilt, vibration and inertial continuity for localization, odometry fusion and payload-aware motion.

05 / UAV & AERIAL

Attitude stabilization

High-rate angular motion, vibration-aware fusion and synchronized state for flight control and navigation.

06 / INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY

Dynamic machine state

Alignment, shock, resonance, tool motion and vibration signatures for control and condition monitoring.

Robot-native from first power-on

From physical motion
to the ROS graph.

X2 publishes raw, fused and diagnostic motion information through native ROS 2/DDS—with source time, covariance and device health preserved as part of the sensing contract.
