Piksi® Multi is a low-cost, high-performance GNSS receiver with Real Time Kinematics (RTK) technology for centimeter-level positioning accuracy. Its small form factor, fast position solution update rate and robust feature set make Piksi Multi ideal for integration into autonomous vehicles and robotics. Multi-band and multi-constellation support enable Piksi Multi to offer fast RTK convergence times. Integrated inertial measurement unit (IMU) and magnetometer enable sensor fusion techniques.
Piksi Multi Inertial combines the RTK GNSS and built-in inertial fusion capabilities of Swift Navigation’s Starling® Positioning Engine to deliver a continuous and robust positioning system for a variety of applications. INS integration provides positioning during GNSS outages and times where there is little to no GNSS visibility.
