At the heart of the BMI5 platform is Bosch’s latest MEMS architecture, which reduces the effects of thermo-mechanical stress, delivers ultra-low noise, exceptional vibration robustness, and twice the full-scale range of the previous generation. A latency of less than 0.5 ms, combined with a time increment of approximately 0.6 µs and a timing resolution of 1 ns, ensures fast and reliable motion tracking in highly dynamic environments. An industry-standard, compact LGA package further simplifies integration. A programmable Edge-AI classification engine enables always-on functionality by analyzing motion patterns directly at the sensor, reducing system power consumption and accelerating customer-specific use cases.
Three variants for different device classes:
BMI560 – XR and OIS+ specialist.
The BMI560 is optimized for XR headsets and goggles, where low noise, low latency, and precise time synchronization enable natural head movement, frame prediction, and intuitive 3D interaction. In smartphones and action cameras, its advanced OIS+ performance helps capture stable, high-quality images even in dynamic environments.
BMI563 – Designed for Robotics and XR Controllers.
The BMI563 combines an extended full-scale range (FSR) with robust platform vibration, enabling applications such as SLAM, high-dynamic XR motion tracking, and motion-based scene labeling in action cameras. Its design ensures reliable data acquisition for demanding robotic motion profiles.
BMI570 – Optimized for Wearables and Hearables.
The BMI570 offers reliable activity tracking, advanced gesture recognition, and precise head orientation data for spatial audio. Its robustness against sports and everyday movements makes it an ideal choice for the next generation of wearables and hearables.
All variants of the BMI5 platform meet Bosch Sensortec's highest environmental standards to date, combining high technical performance with responsible innovation. This unified architecture allows manufacturers to optimize development across different product lines and supports future enhancements based on Edge-AI and machine learning.
“With the BMI5 platform, we are strengthening the foundation for the next generation of motion-aware devices,” said Stefan Finkbeiner, CEO of Bosch Sensortec. “Our customers benefit from a consistent level of accuracy, robustness, and exceptional performance across all variants, enabling more responsive XR systems, more reliable robotics, and more intuitive wearables. The platform combines technical excellence with responsible innovation and supports a wide range of applications with a single, scalable architecture. And this is just the beginning: the BMI5 family will continue to grow, with new variants already in development.”.
