News
During CES 2026, Bosch Sensortec will showcase its BMI5 platform introducing its three models, the BMI560, BMI563, and BMI570. The solutions are considered by the company as a new generation of inertial sensors engineered to deliver efficient performance across multiple device classes.
Built on Bosch’s latest MEMS architecture, the platform can handle thermo-mechanical stress effects while supporting ultra-low noise, exceptional vibration vigor, and twice the full-scale range of the previous generation.
Per the press release, the platform delivers a latency of below 0.5 ms and when combined with a time increment of approximately 0.6 µs and a timing resolution of 1 ns, it guarantees responsive and reliable motion tracking in complex environments. A programmable Edge-AI classification engine supports always-on functionality by analyzing motion patterns directly on the sensor, limiting energy needs.
“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 precision, robustness and exceptional performance across all variants - enabling responsive XR systems, reliable robotics and intuitive wearables. The platform combines technical excellence with responsible innovation, supporting a wide range of applications with a single, scalable architecture. And this is only the beginning: the BMI5 family will continue to grow, with new variants already in preparation.”
- BMI560: optimized for Extended Reality (XR) headsets, glasses and advanced Optical Image Stabilization (OIS+) in smartphones and action cams
- BMI563: extended-range for high-dynamic motion sensing for robotics and XR controllers
- BMI570: precise activity and context recognition for wearables and hearables
