GeoAutonomy provides a comprehensive software framework that enables fully untethered autonomous machines—UAVs, ground, underwater, and surface vehicles—to operate without GPS, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, or cloud connectivity. Optimized for confined‑space inspections in GPS‑denied environments such as electrical vaults, tunnels, and mines, the platform lets partners quickly develop applications for routine and emergency infrastructure inspections, reducing cost, time, and risk to human workers.

Problem
Inspecting confined or GPS‑denied environments such as electrical vaults, tunnels, bridges, and mines requires human workers to enter hazardous spaces, leading to high safety risks, operational delays, and increased costs.
Solution
GeoAutonomy offers a unified software framework that enables fully untethered autonomous machines—including UAVs, ground vehicles, and underwater drones—to navigate and perform inspections without reliance on GPS, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, or cloud connectivity. The platform combines motion control, sensor fusion, and onboard data processing into a single stack, allowing partners to develop custom inspection applications quickly. By handling all communication and decision‑making locally, the system maintains reliable operation in confined, GPS‑denied spaces. This reduces the need for human entry, shortens inspection cycles, and lowers overall project expenses while improving safety.
Target Audience
Primary customers are infrastructure operators, utilities, and mining companies, as well as robotics integrators that need autonomous inspection solutions for hazardous or GPS‑denied environments.
