The Emesent Team


Emesent is a world leader in drone autonomy, lidar mapping, and data analytics.

Founded in 2018, after a decade of cutting-edge research at the Robotics and Autonomous Systems arm of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Emesent has built a reputation for delivering high quality data capture, working side-by-side with customers to provide revolutionary efficiency, safety, and operational insights.
Our expertise spans Robotics, Autonomy, AI, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics, with research and development exploring new possibilities and developing innovative technologies as we advance the autonomous digitisation of the physical world.

Our flagship product, Hovermap, is a smart mobile scanning unit that combines Advanced Collision avoidance and Autonomous flight technologies to map hazardous and GPS-denied environments.

Hovermap is uniquely versatile; it can be used in handheld, drone-or vehicle-mounted mode to map challenging, inaccessible areas. With a wide range of applications, Hovermap is being used by customers around the world – currently across the mining, engineering and geospatial industries.
