A pre-designed Xsens package for university research
Built for university research groups in humanoid AI, biomechanics, ergonomics and movement science. One license, ten research seats, an academic rate. The same Xsens stack used by leading humanoid teams, shared across the whole lab.
Humanoid Academic package
A pre-designed bundle that lets a whole university research group work with Xsens at a discounted rate. Ten seats on a single Humanoid Pro network dongle, plus a Record license that scales across up to 100 lab computers, all rolled into one fixed-price engagement so the research group does not pay per head.
What is included
- 1 × Xsens Humanoid Pro network dongle license (1, 3 or 5 year term) with 10 seats so multiple researchers can use the system in parallel
- One Xsens Record License (on request) allowing activation on up to 100 different lab and researcher computers. Capture happens wherever the research happens, not only in the lab where the dongle sits
- One year of support included (extendable). Direct line to Xsens engineers for setup, integration and troubleshooting
- Software Maintenance (SM) included for the duration of the license. Always on the latest biomechanical model and feature set
- Discounted academic pricing on the full bundle, not a list of separate line items
Open to universities and research institutes using Xsens solely for education or non-commercial research.
Why research labs pick Xsens
Easy to deploy
Suit up, calibrate, capture. The full Xsens stack is operational within 15 minutes of unboxing. No marker placement, no camera grid, no controlled lighting. Researchers and postgrads can run their own sessions without a dedicated lab tech.
Strong integrations and documentation
Native Python, MATLAB, Visual3D and ROS 2 bindings. Open documentation, an active research community and a public knowledge base. Research teams hit the ground running because the answers are already written down.
Proven in sport and biomechanics
Hundreds of peer-reviewed papers and doctoral theses across humanoid robotics, biomechanics, ergonomics and sport science already use Xsens as their kinematic ground truth. Your group’s research joins an established academic lineage, not a tool experiment.
Who qualifies
- Universities and degree-granting institutions
- Public and non-profit research institutes
- Research groups using Xsens solely for education or non-commercial research
Commercial work, paid consultancy and industry-funded projects fall outside the academic program. Talk to us about a commercial license instead.
Already an Xsens user?
If your lab already has Xsens hardware, the academic program covers software upgrades, additional Record seats and renewed support. Contact us with your existing license details.
