The MPU-6555 is a 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer designed specifically for Automatic Activity Recognition library (AAR™) in a 3 x 3 mm package.

The new MPU-6555 is InvenSense’s first generation 6-axis activity detection device, working in conjunction with the AAR™ activity detection library. The InvenSense low power sensor can detect running, walking, biking, no-motion, and sleep analysis on a wrist-worn wearable device. This solution is ideal for Smart Watch, Smart Band, and fitness tracker applications that want to enable the next-generation features for wearable products. The library uses data calculated on the sensor DMP (Digital Motion Processor) to recognize new activities, typically within 10 seconds and with 95% accuracy for true positives. A pedometer comes with the AAR™ library that benefits from the contextual awareness of knowing which activities will require steps and which will not. The AAR™ library is optimized to recognize the users “persistent” activity useful in applications where you are trying to catalog the user’s daily fitness level.

The AAR library is required to leverage the full capabilities of this chip; it can be downloaded in our Developers Corner after signing a click-through SLA along with API Document and Integration Guide.
