Supplier: Emesent
Emesent is a world leader in drone autonomy, SLAM LiDAR mapping, and data analytics, and has been delivering revolutionary efficiency, safety and operational insights to underground mining and other industries since 2018. Emesent provides lidar mapping solutions that extend the reach of autonomous lidar mapping.
Emesent’s flagship product is the Hovermap. This smart mobile scanning unit uses advanced collision avoidance and autonomous flight technologies to map hazardous and GPS-denied environments. These include stopes, drawpoints, shafts and other high-risk workplaces. With a wide range of applications, Hovermap is being used by customers around the world.
Dwyka Mining Services is the authorized African reseller for Emesent and works closely with the team to deliver revolutionary efficiency, safety and operational insights to the African underground mining industry. See the Hovermap ST-X, the latest addition to the Hovermap line.
HOVERMAP IS THE NEW STANDARD IN SURVEY GRADE, AUTONOMOUS, LIDAR MAPPING
Access the inaccessible
Gain insight to the previously inaccessible environment with Hovermap’s advanced autonomy capabilities. Navigate beyond the lie of sight with omnidirectional LiDAR based collision avoidance, guided exploration, and smart return-to- home allows mapping even in GPs denied environments.
Uniquely versatile
Quick release mechanism allows easy switch from drone to ground based mapping.
-
- Drone enabled
- Mounted to backpack, vehicle, robot carrier
- Handheld walking scans
- Lowered in a cage
Precision mapping
Produce dense survey grade point clouds with the Advanced SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping) algorithm. Improve workflow efficiencies with automated ground control feature in the Emesent software.
Tough
IP65 certified, lightweight and portable design enables data collection in even the most challenging environment (indoors, outdoors, and underground).
Autonomy
Mapping:
Autonomy Level 0 (AL0):
Offers fast and accurate, high-resolution SLAM based mobile mapping where drone autonomy is not required.
Pilot Assist: Autonomy Level 1 (AL1):
Assisted line of sight navigation in GPS denied environment. Features 360⁰ collision avoidance that shields the drone from obstacles.
Autonomous Waypoints: Autonomy level 2 (AL2):
Offers beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) flight through smart waypoints and Guided exploration. Autonomous navigation and mapping with Tap-to-fly feature. Hovermap streams live point clouds providing real-time preview of data as it is captured.
Focus Technologies:
Hovermap ST-X
Product Type: SLAM Lidar
FAST, ACCURATE, VERSATILE LIDAR MAPPING
The Hovermap ST-X is smart mobile scanning device that uses advanced SLAM and autonomous flight technologies to map hazardous and GPS-denied environments. This versatile unit allows you to create dense point clouds and digital twins in minutes. Owing to its tough and lightweight design, the Hovermap ST-X can be used in even the harshest environment whether it be indoors, outdoors, above or underground.
Featuring a sensing range of 300 meters at more than a million points per second, it captures detailed, accurate data over a greater area in less time – giving you faster time to insight. The Hovermap ST-X is a complete lidar mapping solution that allows you to extend the reach of autonomous lidar mapping and collect mission critical data. This mobile unit can be mounted on a drone for aerial mapping using autonomous flight technology and advanced collision avoidance. Quick-release mechanism allows easy removal from drone and ability to use as a handheld scanner, or mounted on a backpack, vehicle and select quadruped robot.
Features:
- Advanced SLAM technology
- Two levels of autonomy (AL1, AL2)
- Mapping accuracy: ± 15 mm (19/32 in) in general environments,
± 10 mm (3/8 in) in typical indoor and underground environments, - 300m Lidar sensing range
- Data acquisition speed of up to 1,920,000 points per second
- IP65 certified
- 1.6 kg
- Optional
- Colorization kit to augment point clouds with true color
- Long range radio: increase connectivity range
