Transform your drone into an autonomous powerhouse of precision data capture with the Emesent Hovermap 100 (SKU E00-HVM) – the revolutionary SLAM-based mapper making data acquisition fast, simple, and incredibly versatile!

The Autonomous Visionary for Unlocking Complex Environments

Are you a surveying and mapping professional, mining engineer, industrial inspector, public safety agency, or even a non-profit organization, school, religious establishment, community center, apartment complex, or Homeowners Association seeking to navigate, inspect, and map challenging environments where traditional GPS-reliant drones simply cannot go? Imagine effortlessly sending your drone into underground mines, inside warehouses, beneath bridges, or into dense urban canyons, knowing it will autonomously avoid collisions and capture rich, accurate 3D LiDAR data, even without a GPS signal. The Emesent Hovermap 100 is more than just a LiDAR sensor; it's a lightweight, small, and robust drone payload with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms, providing unparalleled collision avoidance and GPS-denied flight capabilities, empowering you to explore and map previously inaccessible areas with complete confidence and breathtaking detail.

Benefits That Conquer Complexity, Ensure Safety, and Deliver Unrivaled Data

This isn't just a mapper; it's a transformative asset for your operational superiority, offering:

• Unlock Access to GPS-Denied Environments: Hovermap revolutionizes drone operation by enabling autonomous flight in GPS-denied environments, such as underground mines, inside warehouses, or inspecting underneath bridges. This opens up a host of new applications and allows you to capture critical data in areas previously impossible to reach with drones.
• Prevent Collisions with Intelligent Awareness: Hovermap acts as a virtual safety bubble around your drone. It processes LiDAR data onboard in real-time to produce a local 3D map of the surroundings, allowing it to detect and avoid obstacles like telecom towers, fences, trees, poles, wires, and even people, ensuring safer and more confident operations.
• Capture Rich, Accurate 3D SLAM-Based Maps: Utilizing advanced Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms built on CSIRO’s Wildcat SLAM Solution, Hovermap delivers highly accurate and detailed 3D point cloud data, even in complex, unstructured environments, providing invaluable insights for planning, analysis, and visualization.
• Maximize Operational Flexibility (Drone, Handheld, Vehicle): Hovermap's unique design and quick-release mechanism allow it to be versatilely used vehicle-mounted, backpack-mounted, or even handheld for walking scenarios, making data capture fast and easy across diverse terrains and accessibility challenges.
• Accelerate Data Acquisition with Rapid Scanning: With a data acquisition speed of 300,000 points/sec and the ability to fly at up to 5m/s (scene dependent), Hovermap ensures rapid scanning and efficient data collection, saving you valuable time on every project.

The Advantage of Proprietary Autonomy, Robust Design, and Comprehensive Sensor Integration

The Emesent Hovermap 100 stands out with its intelligent engineering and unwavering commitment to performance:

• Integrated Lightware SF20/C Sensor: While not explicitly stated for the Hovermap 100 in the provided text, the internal use of advanced LiDAR technology, like a Class 1 eye-safe laser with a range of up to 100 meters and +/- 3cm LiDAR accuracy, ensures high-quality data capture.
• Proprietary Autonomy Algorithms: Built on Emesent’s proprietary calibration and drone autonomy algorithms, the Hovermap provides robust and reliable performance, leveraging cutting-edge technology for superior results.
• Lightweight and Robust for Industrial Use: Despite its advanced capabilities, Hovermap is lightweight (1.8 kg) and small, yet "strong enough for industrial environments," ensuring durability and minimal impact on drone flight performance.
• 360° x 360° Angular Field of View: The comprehensive 360° x 360° angular field of view for both LiDAR scanning and collision avoidance ensures full coverage of your environment, leaving no blind spots.
• Flexible Power Input: Designed to operate with an input voltage of 12 – 50 V (e.g., 4s LiPo), offering flexible power compatibility with various drone platforms.
• Pilot Assist Flight Mode: Features a Manual Pilot Assist flight mode, enhancing operator control and confidence even in challenging environments.
