Emesent Hovermap ST
Laser scanning and underground solutions
Autonomously mapping the inaccessible
Hovermap ST’s tough, lightweight, IP65 weather-sealed design enables the capture of valuable data in previously inaccessible areas.
This powerful combination of precision engineering, world-leading SLAM algorithms, and robust drone autonomy capability provides accurate LiDAR mapping for as-builts, surveys, or inspections.
Equally capable above ground or underground, indoors or out, Hovermap ST can easily be switched from a drone flight to a walking, vehicle – or backpack-mounted scan, providing the versatility needed to capture data anywhere.
THE NEW STANDARD IN
SURVEY GRADE, AUTONOMOUS, LIDAR MAPPING

COMPACT DESIGN
The compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry for walking scans and provides a longer flight time when used on a drone.


WEATHER SEALED
The tough, IP65, weather sealed design allows the mapping of harsh environments without concern for dust, rain, extreme temperatures, or humidity.
EXPLORE BEYOND
LINE OF SIGHT
The Tap-to-Fly autonomy feature enables mapping in previously inaccessible areas beyond line of sight and communication range. The omnidirectional Collision Avoidance, Guided Exploration, and smart Return-to-Home functions ensure Hovermap ST keeps a safe distance from assets and returns home safely with the valuable data it has collected.


SURVEY GRADE CONTROL
With Hovermap ST’s precision engineering, world-class SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), and Emesent’s Automated Ground Control feature, you can capture dense, shadowless survey grade point clouds.

PILOT ASSIST MODE
AUTONOMOUS WAYPOINTS
Mapping Mode offers fast, accurate, and high resolution mobile scanning of environments where drone autonomy is unnecessary. Hovermap ST’s quick-release mechanism allows you to easily switch from a drone to a backpack, vehicle, or protective shaft scanning cage, for SLAM-based mobile mapping.
Pilot Assist Mode provides omni-directional Collision Avoidance, line of sight GPS-denied flight capability, and stability control, providing the confidence and stability for close, thorough inspections. It acts as a safety bubble for your drone, keeping the asset and your equipment safe.
Autonomous Waypoint Mode provides beyond line of sight flight through Smart Waypoints and Guided Exploration. Simply tap on the map to set smart waypoints, and Hovermap ST takes care of the rest, navigating to the waypoints, mapping the area, and keeping itself and the drone safe from obstacles.
