Hovering Solutions
Autonomous drone navigation
About
Founded in 2016 in Madrid, Spain, Hovering Solutions develops autonomous drone navigation and inspection technology for industrial applications. The company specializes in GPS-denied indoor navigation systems enabling drones to operate autonomously inside confined spaces such as warehouses, mines, tunnels, and industrial facilities where satellite signals are unavailable. Their technology stack combines LiDAR, computer vision, and proprietary SLAM algorithms to enable precise autonomous flight paths. Hovering Solutions targets infrastructure inspection, energy, and mining sectors.
