XactSense
Canadian pioneer in LiDAR-equipped autonomous UAS for GPS-denied mapping in mines, tunnels and confined spaces; rebranded as VERTSPEC for vertical asset.
XactSense is a UAV technology company based in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, that specialized in turnkey unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with LiDAR sensors for mapping, survey, and inspection tasks in GPS-denied environments. The company developed its proprietary GPS-Free surveying technology, branded as SLAMsense, which enabled aerial data collection in locations where satellite-based positioning is unavailable or unreliable. XactSense was recognized as a robotics and disruptive technology innovator for its GPS-free UAV surveying platform.
The company's primary hardware platform, the MAX-8, is an eight-rotor UAV designed to integrate Velodyne LiDAR sensors — including the HDL-32 and the VLP-16 Puck — alongside thermal and high-resolution zoom cameras within an electro-stabilized LiDAR gimbal. In 2015, XactSense was among the first companies globally to fly Velodyne's then-new low-cost VLP-16 LiDAR Puck on a custom aerial system, demonstrating early adoption of emerging sensor technology. Application areas included gas pipeline inspection, DOT and engineering surveys, power line corridor mapping, cell tower inspection, and telecom infrastructure assessment.
XactSense subsequently pivoted from its original drone hardware and services business. The company's team transitioned to focus on end-to-end solutions for vertical asset inspection and management under a new entity called VERTSPEC, operating at verticalinspection.com. The original XactSense product inventory was made available through Amazon, and the xactsense.com website was formally retired with a notice directing visitors to the successor company.
