Mobile mapping or automated object scanning

Artec Jet maps whole sites from a robot, vehicle or drone. Artec Eva scans objects inside your own automated setup through the Artec Scanning SDK.

Sites, mines, plants

Mapping from robots and drones

Mines, tunnels, plants and collapsed or flooded areas no one should enter

Artec Jet€38,500
  • Robot, drone or vehicle up to 60 km/h, quick-release mount
  • Waypoint flight, 360° collision avoidance, return to base
  • SLAM: works in darkness and without GPS

Also consider Artec Twins — processes, merges and georeferences every run

Objects, in a fixed rig

Scanning inside automated systems

Custom scanning rigs and multi-scanner setups for medium-size objects

Artec Eva€9,900
  • Artec Scanning SDK for custom integration
  • Several Evas can be synced in one system
  • No targets, 0.1 mm accuracy, full color

Autonomous mapping with Artec Jet

How a robot or drone mission runs, from mount to finished dataset in Artec Twins.

Artec Twins
  1. Mount and connect

    Clip Jet onto a drone, robot, vehicle, pole or backpack with the quick-release mount. One device covers all seven deployment modes.

  2. Plan the mission

    Set 2D, 3D, planar or height waypoints, or use guided exploration. Return-to-base triggers on low battery or excessive dust.

  3. Capture and monitor

    SLAM keeps mapping in darkness and without GPS, 360° collision avoidance detects wires down to 2 mm, and a live point cloud streams to the companion app.

  4. Process in Artec Twins

    Remove drift, georeference, merge runs and detect change down to ±5 mm, then export LAS, LAZ, PLY or E57.

Results from autonomous mapping

48h

Jet flew autonomously through a flooded, GPS-denied collapse zone, so no one had to go in. Change detection revealed pillar weakening and water ingress.

15min

Waste piles inside a poorly lit, GPS-denied facility were mapped by autonomous drone flight for volume measurement. The whole site took under 45 minutes, three times faster than tripod scanning.

Questions about 3D scanning for robotics and automation

Can Artec Jet be mounted on a robot?

Yes. Robot is one of Jet’s seven deployment modes, alongside handheld, backpack, telescopic pole, cage, vehicle and drone, all with the same quick-release mount.

Can Jet fly autonomously?

Yes. It supports pilot-free waypoint flight, guided exploration with local and global path planning, and beyond-line-of-sight flight. 360° LiDAR collision avoidance detects wires down to 2 mm, and the drone returns to base on low battery or excessive dust.

Which drones does Jet work with?

Jet mounts on supported professional drone platforms using UAV fitting kits; drones are sold separately. An Artec 3D expert can confirm which platforms suit your missions.

Does Jet need GPS or light?

No. SLAM positioning and an active laser work in complete darkness and in GPS-denied spaces, and Jet continues seamlessly from GNSS areas into GPS-denied zones in one session.

Can Artec Eva be built into an automated scanning system?

Yes. The Artec Scanning SDK supports custom integration, and several Evas can be synced to scan larger objects or build automatic scanning systems. Eva connects to a computer by USB, so it suits fixed rigs rather than mobile robots.

What accuracy can I expect from Jet?

±10 mm indoors and underground, ±15 mm in general environments and ±5 mm for change detection. Actual accuracy depends on geometry, loop closures and the use of control points or RTK.
