Emesent became a CSIRO spin-out in 2018 after a research programme led by its co-founders. That background connects its commercial mapping tools with earlier work on autonomous perception.
Technology and practical role
Hovermap combines laser scanning with localisation and mapping in places where satellite positioning is unavailable. It can support surveying and inspection from different carriers. Mapping capability and autonomous vehicle control should be checked separately for the chosen configuration.
