Emesent

Emesent is a pioneer in Physical AI – the convergence of artificial intelligence, autonomous robotics, and advanced spatial computing – enabling machines to understand, navigate, and map complex real-world environments without human intervention. Founded in 2018, with deep connections to Australia's globally recognized CSIRO, Emesent provides the means to access spatial intelligence outside of GPS range and beyond line of site, and is designed to operate within the world’s most challenging environments. Building on its initial success within Australia, Emesent now supports clients across 40 countries through direct engagements and a global network of over 50 partners. Emesent’s flagship product, Hovermap, is a mobile scanning unit that combines advanced collision avoidance and autonomous flight technologies to map hazardous and GPS-denied environments. Its award-winning technology utilizes innovative hardware, advanced algorithms, and machine learning to automate collection and analysis of the physical world. Equally capable above ground or underground, indoors or out, Hovermap is a complete mobile LiDAR mapping solution. Dubbed the ‘swiss army knife’ of survey mapping, Hovermap is uniquely versatile: it can be deployed via drone, quadruped robot, vehicle, backpack and a range of other accessories to map challenging, inaccessible areas. Hovermap is currently used within mining, engineering and construction, public safety and defense, and offers applications across a growing range of use cases.
