Overview

Next-Generation Xsens Link is the flagship high-performance inertial motion capture system for animation, biomechanics, sports, rehabilitation, humanoid robotics, simulation, and AI training. The redesigned eSuit integrates washable cabling with one-click MTX3 sensors for a faster, more repeatable workflow.

Key features

  • 17 one-click body sensors plus one prop sensor
  • Up to 240 Hz output and approximately 20 ms latency
  • Wi-Fi 6E connectivity with up to 150 m range
  • Three to four hours internal battery plus seven to eight hours external power
  • Hot-swappable external battery support
  • Up to 50 hours of internal recording storage
  • Up to 40% faster setup than the previous generation

Compatibility

Xsens Animate, Xsens Analyze, and Xsens Humanoid software. ROS 2, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Unreal Engine, Unity, and supported production or research integrations vary by software edition.

What is included

Full-system configurations include Xsens Link hardware and the selected eSuit size. A Link-only sensor kit without eSuit is also available.

Ordering and configuration

This is a quote-only Xsens product. Knoxlabs will confirm system compatibility, license type, lead time, and the correct configuration before order placement.
