Emesent Expands Manufacturing of Autonomous Mapping Systems
BRISBANE, Australia — Emesent plans to expand manufacturing of its autonomous mapping systems after securing $17 million in new funding to increase production capacity and accelerate development of AI-powered robotics technology.
The company said the investment will support manufacturing expansion at its production facility in Wacol, Queensland, Australia, while advancing its Cortex AI autonomy platform and Aura cloud software.
“This investment accelerates everything we're building at Emesent,” said Charles Miller, CEO of Emesent. “We can scale our manufacturing, push our AI and autonomy capabilities further, and deepen our presence in the sectors that matter most to Australia's future, including mining, defense, and critical infrastructure.”
Emesent manufactures autonomous mapping systems, including the Hovermap STX LiDAR payload and GX1 scanner, which are used in mining, architecture, engineering and construction, defense and critical infrastructure. The systems combine simultaneous localization and mapping technology with autonomous operation in GPS-denied environments.
According to the company, Hovermap is deployed at more than 200 mining sites worldwide.
Emesent said the funding will support growing demand for its robotics platforms while expanding international production capacity.
