SLAM-Powered Mapping and Autonomy

ExynAI is a proprietary LiDAR-based SLAM algorithm that enables Nexys to autonomously navigate unstructured, GPS-denied environments while simultaneously capturing a feature-rich, colorized digital twin that can be rendered on the same tablet used to plan missions. 

Built from the ground up to be platform agnostic and open to 3rd party data streams, ExynAI is a mobile SLAM platform that works out of the box and when given time in the field can evolve into a useful tool in the modern surveyors toolkit.

Autonomous flight
goes further, faster

Our proprietary autonomy algorithms, coupled with our SLAM-based LiDAR scanning technology deliver survey-grade 3D models without a pilot.

Leveraging Autonomy Level 4B, the operator simply sets the area to scan and the system determines its own route to ensure complete environmental coverage, creates a feature-rich 3D model of the entire environment, and identifies and reasons about dust, obstacles and high-level objectives -- even in GPS-denied, hazardous, and un-illuminated environments.

Built for Challenging Environments

Exyn’s technology is designed to perform in the most demanding conditions:

Precision Mapping: Generate survey-grade 3D maps in real-time, even in GPS-denied or signal-limited environments.

Robust Localization: Reliable and accurate localization performance across challenging environments, including GPS-rich, GPS-denied, high-speed, and complex 3D settings.

Proven Field-Ready Autonomy: Validated across hundreds of deployments and tens of thousands of flights, with demonstrated resilience and reliability in diverse and challenging conditions, including dusty environments and obstacle-rich terrains.

Autonomy Features

Works in Comms-Denied, BVLOS Environments All required intelligence is onboard for reliable flight in communications-denied environments. Data is collected onboard and streamed back to the user once back in range of communications. Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights are even capable in GPS-rich or GPS-denied environments above or below ground.
Easy to Program Mission Modes Volumetric exploration, fly-to, and surface inspection mission modes. These easy to program mission modes enable operators to completely map complex, dynamic environments. When in doubt, AL4B exploration can autonomously capture an entire area of interest.
Battery Aware Return to Home (RTH) Built in health monitoring always ensures that the robot can get back to home with the available battery, reducing the cognitive burden on the operator.
Advanced Dust Filtration ExynAI can intelligently detect dust while in flight and navigate through it while still maintaining a safe flight corridor, capturing all necessary data and safely returning home.

Powerful Autonomy
When You Need It

With the Nexys ecosystem, you can choose to use our AL4B autonomy on a drone or terrestrial robot, or you can select a mapping-only solution depending on your requirements. 

We make it easy to start with a mapping-only solution, then, if your needs expand to require autonomy, you can license the software quickly and easily with no downtime.

Modular, Mobile Mapping With Nexys

Powered by ExynAI, Nexys can be deployed onto a drone, ground-based robot or simply carried by hand to capture an accurate, feature-rich 3D model of almost any environment. Capture up to 1.92 million scan points per second at up to 1cm @ 1 sigma, while continuously updating the map as new data is received.

Trimble DA2 Compatible

Achieve faster, safer, and more precise point cloud collection -- even in the most complex environments. The Trimble DA2 seamlessly pairs with Exyn Nexys to unify underground and surface-level scans into a single, georeferenced dataset -- eliminating the need for ground control points and accelerating post-processing workflows.

Mapping Features

Completely Capture Complex Environments Seeing full detail and colorization in the field ensures the scan area is correct and complete before you leave the site. Capture up to 1.92 million scan points per second at up to 1cm @ 1 sigma, while continuously updating the map as new data is received.
Survey Grade Accuracy Nexys delivers consistent and repeatable survey grade accuracy of up to 1cm @ 1 sigma dependent on the environment, providing the critical accuracy and detail needed for professional surveying, construction, infrastructure, and engineering applications where small errors can lead to significant issues.
Fast & Efficient Data Capture Incredibly adaptable to changing environments, Nexys’s SLAM-based spatial mapping is capable of capturing up to 1.92 million scan points per second, while continuously updating the map as new data is received. The production of accurate maps in near real time drives faster overall project completion times through ongoing progress and quality monitoring to catch potential issues early, avoiding costly and/or timely rework - essential for working in dangerous, complex, or evolving spaces.
Post Processing & Georeferencing ExynAI is capable of using GPS, GNSS, or RTK data during autonomous flight missions to better inform it's online localization algorithms for safer flight. Once the mission is complete, ExynAI uses the same data to produce accurate feature-rich 3D point clouds.
