Bosch Sensortec has long been a leader in sensor technology, bringing the reliability and precision of automotive-grade sensors to consumer electronics. At CES 2025, Bosch demonstrated how its portfolio of AI-enabled, ultra-low-power sensors is shaping the future of smart homes, wearables, and industrial applications.
Automotive-Grade Sensors in Everyday Devices
Bosch’s sensor technology originates from the automotive industry, where high reliability and low power consumption are essential. By adapting this technology for consumer applications, Bosch is enabling more intelligent, durable, and power-efficient devices.
One example is the BHI360, an AI-enabled smart sensor that integrates a gyroscope, accelerometer, and an onboard microcontroller unit (MCU). This allows it to learn movement patterns, making it ideal for wearables, fitness trackers, and interactive devices.

Ultra-Small Sensors for Compact Designs
As consumer devices become smaller, sensors must follow suit. Bosch introduced the BMA530, the world’s smallest accelerometer, measuring less than 1×1 mm. This sensor is ideal for step counting, auto-orientation switching in smartphones, and any application requiring precise motion tracking.

Similarly, the BMM350 magnetometer provides accurate orientation and navigation data for applications like indoor positioning, drones, and GPS dead zones.

Air Quality and Environmental Monitoring
With increasing concern over air quality, Bosch has developed sensors that enable real-time environmental monitoring. The BME690 combines a temperature sensor, humidity sensor, pressure sensor, and a gas sensor—all in one compact package. Its AI capability allows it to learn specific gas signatures, making it useful for detecting harmful substances such as carbon monoxide.

For particulate matter detection, the BMV080 particle sensor uses laser technology to measure airborne pollutants like PM2.5 and PM1. This is particularly valuable for indoor air quality monitoring and smart home automation.
Industrial and Smart City Applications
Beyond personal devices, Bosch’s sensors are driving innovation in industrial and smart city applications. Pressure sensors such as the BMP581 can track altitude changes within buildings, enabling precise floor-level tracking for emergency response and asset tracking. Meanwhile, motion sensors play a critical role in warehouse logistics, ensuring accurate asset management.

Smarter Devices with AI-Enabled Sensors
Bosch’s sensor portfolio doesn’t just provide raw data—it enables smarter decision-making. By integrating AI, sensors can process and interpret information locally, reducing the need for constant cloud connectivity. This not only improves efficiency but also enhances privacy and security in consumer applications.
With a foundation in automotive-grade reliability and a commitment to innovation, Bosch is setting new standards in sensor technology, ensuring that our homes, cities, and devices are safer, smarter, and more efficient.
