Every great product starts with an idea. The hard part is turning it into something real. Episode 2 of The Emesent GX1 Dev Diaries — Stacking Innovation — goes inside the hardware, the design decisions, the engineering challenges, and the iterations that shaped GX1 into what it is today. Andrew Harrison, Hardware Engineering Manager, Sam Prudden, Senior Aerospace Engineer, and Elliot Fooks, Senior Industrial Designer, take you through the journey from early prototypes to production. The goal was not only to build something functional. It was to pack world-class LiDAR, RTK, and camera systems into one sleek, precise, and reliable package — all while delivering even greater accuracy.

AI-powered autonomous mapping of challenging GPS-denied environments
About us
Emesent is a pioneer in Physical AI – the convergence of artificial intelligence, autonomous robotics, and advanced spatial computing – enabling machines to understand, navigate, and map complex real-world environments without human intervention. Founded in 2018, with deep connections to Australia's globally recognized CSIRO, Emesent provides the means to access spatial intelligence outside of GPS range and beyond line of site, and is designed to operate within the world’s most challenging environments. Building on its initial success within Australia, Emesent now supports clients across 40 countries through direct engagements and a global network of over 50 partners. Emesent’s flagship product, Hovermap, is a mobile scanning unit that combines advanced collision avoidance and autonomous flight technologies to map hazardous and GPS-denied environments. Its award-winning technology utilizes innovative hardware, advanced algorithms, and machine learning to automate collection and analysis of the physical world. Equally capable above ground or underground, indoors or out, Hovermap is a complete mobile LiDAR mapping solution. Dubbed the ‘swiss army knife’ of survey mapping, Hovermap is uniquely versatile: it can be deployed via drone, quadruped robot, vehicle, backpack and a range of other accessories to map challenging, inaccessible areas. Hovermap is currently used within mining, engineering and construction, public safety and defense, and offers applications across a growing range of use cases.

The Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo is one of the busiest pedestrian intersections in the world — and this week, our Global Solutions Specialist Jeremy Sofonia, PhD is scanning it. Jeremy is in Japan visiting our partners, and he brought Emesent GX1 out at dawn to capture this iconic landmark in stunning detail. It's exactly the kind of environment GX1 was built for. Powered by Emesent SLAM — the same technology proven in autonomous underground drone navigation — GX1 delivers 5-10mm global accuracy whether GPS is available or not. Want to see what GX1 can do for your next project? Book a demo or learn more below.

Emesent GX1 landed in Tokyo today. From across Japan, all 7 of our Emesent partners traveled to the Tokyo International Forum for the GX1 Demo Day. Having the entire network in the room was a testament to the momentum building around this technology. Every attendee had the opportunity to get hands-on with Emesent GX1, exploring its SLAM-based LiDAR mapping capabilities firsthand. The conversations were great, and the feedback was resoundingly positive — particularly around the scanning accuracy and integrated camera capabilities. Thank you to our partners across Japan for making the journey, and to Mirukuru Co. Ltd., Japan, for co-hosting a fantastic event — another milestone in our global AEC Solutions Roadshow.

Emesent Hovermap has been selected as a winner of the recent U.S. Army FUZE xTech | Live competition. Held at eMerge Americas 2026 in Miami, the competition started with 76 registered companies. Only 32 were selected to pitch in 60 seconds, and only six were awarded $100,000 USD each for technologies aligned with real Army operational needs. "Emesent Hovermap addresses a critical gap in GPS-denied navigation and mapping for dismounted operations. Our SLAM technology enables real-time 3D situational awareness in contested environments where traditional systems fail, directly supporting the Army's multi-domain operations doctrine." — Dr. Stefan Hrabar, CSO and Co-Founder, Emesent And the work continues — we are demonstrating Emesent Hovermap with the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, during the Week of the Eagles event.
