As the global autonomous robotics market is set to reach $9B by 2030, Cortex AI will make Emesent’s proven GPS-denied stack commercially available to robotics companies and OEMs.
Emesent, an autonomous mapping and robotics company, has been awarded a $2 million (USD) grant from the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) program to develop and commercialize Cortex AI, an open, modular autonomy platform that enables any robotic system or vehicle to navigate, map, and operate in challenging and GPS-denied environments.
Modern industries are under growing pressure to automate; driven by the need for higher productivity, improved worker safety, and an explosion in commercial robotic hardware across mining, construction, defense, infrastructure, and beyond. But almost all automation systems today share a critical vulnerability: they lack advanced autonomy or depend on GPS.
Underground mines, building interiors, tunnels, and contested military environments provide no GPS signal, and building GPS-denied navigation from scratch typically requires five or more years and several millions of dollars in R&D. Emesent’s Cortex AI is being developed to eliminate these barriers.
