High-speed survey with Boston Dynamics Spot

Extend Spot’s reality capture capabilities with Emesent’s versatile rapid survey payload

Looking to increase efficiency, streamline workflows and improve safety during inspection and maintenance tasks? Emesent’s Hovermap-Spot integration enables users to conduct pre-planned and remotely executed LiDAR mapping missions around the clock – reducing time spent on manual survey tasks and minimizing operational disruption.

The robust mount and data connection allows Hovermap to integrate directly with Spot, delivering a seamless workflow for routine inspection using Boston Dynamics inbuilt software. Hovermap’s 300-meter LiDAR range, combined with Emesent’s world leading SLAM algorithms allow users to capture non-stop scans at Spot’s maximum walking pace, making it 10X faster than conventional TLS capture methods. For confined space and other non-routine inspections, Emesent’s long-range radio extends teleoperation communications to 500 meters, enabling the fastest, large area surveys on the market.

Benefit from:

Pre-planned missions

Ability to remotely schedule routine inspections to occur at times that minimize operational disruption, without the need to be onsite.

Speed & accuracy

Rapid continuous capture, survey-quality accuracy and improved situational awareness with world-leading SLAM, designed for robustness and reliability in challenging environments.

Versatility

Deploy the one Hovermap unit on multiple platforms in addition to Spot, delivering improved efficiency and ROI – handheld, backpack, vehicle, pole, cage or drone

Coverage

Unlike other Spot payloads, Hovermap provides 300 meter LiDAR range, ensuring maximum coverage and faster capture of large areas.

Long-range control

Inspection and mapping of larger areas while still maintaining connectivity, enabling continuous scanning – improving efficiency and accelerating time to insight.

Where to use Hovermap with Spot

Mining: Routine indoor stockpile volume, processing plant inspection and change detection

Energy Plants: Routine condition monitoring and maintenance, inspection during periodic shutdowns, confined space inspections

Public Safety: Emergency response, forensic scene analysis

Construction and Manufacturing: Confined space and tunnel inspections, progress tracking & as-built modeling, routine asset inspection (post construction)

WHAT’S IN THE KIT?

Hovermap Spot Mount with mounting screws and vibration isolators

Allows Hovermap ST and ST-X to be mounted securely to the Boston Dynamics Spot robotic platform.

Constructed from powder-coated steel and hard anodised aluminum, the mount provides both mechanical impact protection and vibration isolation whilst retaining a large field-of-view for optimum mapping mission performance.

Long Range Radio Antenna kit for the Spot mount

Delivers improved antenna positioning for maximum range when utilizing Spot with Emesent’s Long Range Radio system.
