Emesent, founded in 2018, is an Australian technology company that develops systems for autonomous mapping and navigation in complex environments. The company's work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, autonomous robotics, and spatial computing, with a particular focus on enabling machines to operate independently in places where GPS and human control are unavailable or unsafe.
Its primary product, Hovermap, is a smart mobile scanning unit designed for hazardous and GPS-denied environments. It combines collision avoidance and autonomous flight technologies to perform LiDAR mapping without direct human intervention. The system is deployed across industries such as mining and construction, where it is used to improve operational safety and efficiency.
Based in Australia, Emesent serves customers in over 40 countries globally. The company's team numbers more than 100 employees, working across technical domains that include drone autonomy and advanced spatial computing. Its stated focus is on developing solutions that address problems previously considered intractable in physical automation.
