Arduino shield combines many sensors for data fusion development

Aiming at sensor fusion application development, Rutronik has created a single Arduino-compatible board with a plethora of sensors from Infineon, Bosch SE and Sensirion.

Called ‘RAB1 – Sensorfusion’, “the board offers its own platform that allows machine learning based sensor fusion,” according to the company. “Thanks to the components and the possible intelligent combination of sensor values, the board is ideal for a applications of sensor fusion, like air quality measurement or smoke and gas detectors.”

The sensors (pink lines clockwise from top right):


  • Sensiron SHT41-AD1B-R2 temperature and humidity
  • Sensiron SGP40-D-R4 indoor air quality (VOCs)
  • Bosch BME688 gas
  • Bosch BMP390 barometric air pressure
  • Infineon DPS310 barometric air pressure
  • Bosch BMI270 inertial measurement

“Rutronik System Solutions provides software including various application examples,” it said. “It is easy to use with all other boards, including the Rutronik Basis Board RDK2. With this flexibility and compatibility, individual proof-of-concepts can be designed.”
