Bosch Smartglasses Light Drive technology provides an all-in-one solution for everyday use that projects hands-free information such as navigation, notifications or notes into the field of view in a minimalist format. A wide variety of Bosch sensors are used for this: a combination of accelerometer and gyroscope enables precise head tracking, magnetic sensors are responsible for orientation, and pressure sensors ensure precise positioning — especially indoors. The highlight: its ready-to-wear system with compact components that now allow for smaller, lighter and more elegant smartglasses — meeting all visual and comfort needs.

Lawn and Order! We equip the Indego M+700 with the latest BMI160 inertial sensor, which safely and accurately navigates the robotic lawnmower over the lawn. The LogiCut technology ensures that the lawn is mowed systematically and in parallel lines.
Compared to the conventional random system, this not only saves time, but also ensures a perfect, even mowing result right to the edge.

From now on, the workout with your smartwatch will be even more precise — and more personal. With unique self-learning and personalization features, the latest Bosch Sensor BHI380 recognizes a wide range of movements thanks to artificial intelligence. This enables it to learn new fitness activities based on repetitive, cyclical patterns allowing the user to become both trainer and exerciser. And because the AI is built right into the sensor, all of this happens with faster real-time feedback, higher data security, and lower power consumption than ever before.

Braking hard and safely at the same time — without locking the front wheel and without lifting the rear wheel: the new eBike ABS from Bosch ensures controlled braking maneuvers at all times. Whether on solid asphalt or slippery gravel paths. The smart antilock braking system measures the wheel speed with two DF30i wheel speed sensors and, together with the DS10 pressure sensor, regulates the brake pressure depending on the condition of the road surface. The sensors virtually ‘feel’ the path of travel. And because every eBike is different, there is not one ABS for all, but the right ABS for every eBike type. This way, it supports your braking process in an optimal way.

Ready for the next level of mobility? Well, thanks to automated driving level 3, the driver can turn his head to the side and even take his eyes off the road. The car takes over the driving task completely in specific use cases. A multi purpose camera as well as a multitude of smart Bosch sensors consisting of a front and corner radar and several ultrasonic sensors ensure that the vehicle is steered over the road in a controlled manner. Nevertheless, even with automated driving level 3, the driver has to be ready to take over the complete driving task again at any time.

The new Bosch sensor for hearables makes a big wave against unwanted sound waves. The ‘Voice Enhancement’ function reduces background noises even more effectively using a combination of microphone and our inertial sensor unit (IMU). A microphone filters out ambient noise and our IMU detects the current position to automatically switch to a personalized noise cancellation scenario. The smart function “Voice Enhancement” filters out distracting noises during phone calls and amplifies your own voice. This means that the person you are talking to can always understand you, even in noisy atmospheres.

If you bake, bake #LikeABosch! Whether muffins, quiche or cake — with the PerfectBake function it will be, well, perfect! The baking sensor permanently measures the moisture content in the oven and adapts the baking process completely autonomously to what is being baked. Simply select the right one and press “Start”. Perfect has never been so easy!

Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC) from Bosch supports the rider during braking and acceleration when riding straight ahead and cornering. A combination of wheel speed sensor, ABS and inertial measurement unit for angle measurement, monitors the current riding state of the vehicle and intervenes when necessary. By evaluating the vehicle data, the speed difference between the front and rear wheel and the dynamic condition of the two-wheeler, MSC improves safety and stability in a wide range of riding situations.

Sensors from Bosch are in every second new smartphone. Not without a ’smart’ reason, because the sensors perform a variety of tasks. For example, the BMI260 inertial sensor stabilizes camera shots, ensuring razor-sharp videos and images. The sensors also detect whether the smartphone is held in landscape or portrait mode — changing the rotation of the display accordingly. At the same time they enable the intuitive control of games purely through movement. Other sensors ensure precise orientation in virtual reality and navigation applications. But even such self-evident functions as gesture control and step and stair counters are possible with our sensors.
