MISSION PLANNING AND CONTROL

CORE

MAPPING

AUTONOMY

Responsive, intuitive command

A new, intuitive and highly responsive touch screen interface delivers ease of navigation and smooth mission handling. Status indicators and active settings can be observed at a glance.

Streamlined mission workflow

Seamless guided workflow for both mapping and autonomous missions provides effortless control and execution.

Advanced navigation

Hovermap automatically selects SLAM navigation to ensure optimal data capture and operation no matter the environment.

Dust filters

Hovermap’s dust filtering capabilities allow safer, more confident autonomous flying in even the most challenging of environments.

Obstacle avoidance

Commander’s Shield function delivers advanced obstacle avoidance with increased precision, accuracy and range.

Notifications and failsafes

Pre-mission checks ensure you are set up for scanning success, along with pop up notifications that keep you informed during the mission and provide guided prompts when action is needed.

Live point cloud visualization

Live visualization with enhanced point cloud quality, clarity and depth perception.

Environmental handling

Autonomy detects environmental hazards such as dense vapor clouds in underground mining stopes and prevents flight into them, keeping your device safe.

Light mode

Greatly improves screen visibility in bright light environments, ensuring optimal contrast, readability and reducing eye strain.

Plane clipping

Ideal for visualizing floor plan details of a building. Create top down or side on cross sections of your scan to expose greater detail or highlight areas of interest.

Personalized display settings

Easily adjustable settings for bright light environments, field of view, grid overlays, point cloud size, opacity and more.

Award Winning Solution

Why renew your business plan?

Emesent's investment in innovation — which has delivered 18 major releases between 2023-2025 — demonstrates the exceptional value for users in maintaining their business plan subscriptions. Each release introduces new capabilities and improvements that reduce operational costs, expand support for new use cases, and improve accuracy, user experience, and data quality.

Subscribers gain access to cutting-edge technology, expanded hardware compatibility, and workflow optimizations. The ongoing evolution of these capabilities through continuous R&D, reflects Emesent's commitment to ensure that an initial purchase becomes an increasingly powerful business asset.

2025: Autonomy & Versatility

Two breakthrough releases defined the year. Cortex 4.0/Commander 2.1 transformed autonomous operations with exploration mode (volume-based "set-and-forget" mapping), onboard processing for immediate field feedback, and tighter navigation enabling previously inaccessible spaces.

Aura 2.0 streamlined team workflows with concurrent user licensing, custom GCP flexibility using natural features, and independent check points for validation. Additional refinements included vehicle/backpack RTK merge, geolocated panoramic images, NDAA compliance for defense markets, and comprehensive measurement tool upgrades.

The year demonstrated maturation from capability building to workflow optimization.

2024: Accuracy & Visualization

Explosive growth in RTK ecosystem support—from aerial (DJI M350) to vehicle-mounted and backpack systems. Introduced visual integration with 360° colorization (GoPro MAX) and automated photography export.
Added change detection and convergence monitoring for structural analysis.
Expanded hardware compatibility (Trimble, multiple DJI platforms) and improved user experience with multi-language support, map widgets, and telemetry overlays.
Delivered multiple Aura releases (1.4 through 1.8).
