MINTROP - Autonomous Seismic Exploration System

IMENSUS Autonomous Seismic Exploration System "MINTROP 1"  is a cutting-edge, fully autonomous seismic exploration technology designed for high-resolution subsurface mapping on Earth and the Moon. Combining an AI-powered rover, wireless Geophones (seismic sensors), and an active seismic source, MINTROP delivers detailed 3D geological models for mining, infrastructure planning, civil protection and lunar resource exploration. Engineered to operate in extreme environments, it provides real-time data with no human intervention, revolutionizing terrestrial and lunar exploration. MINTROP is the foundation of IMENSUS' geoscientific services, enabling efficient, scalable, and sustainable resource utilization in industries on Earth and future space economies.

Mintrop 1

Rover Platform for Seismic Surveys:

A purpose-built mobile robot designed to autonomously deploy wireless geophones and source, trigger, and record seismic signals – optimized for both Earth and lunar conditions.

AI-Driven Autonomous Exploration:

 The rover navigates and executes seismic missions independently using advanced AI – adapting to terrain, optimizing sensor placement, and delivering reliable subsurface models.

Exploration-as-a-Service Model:

We do not sell the rover. Instead, we provide seismic exploration as a full-service offering – selling subsurface models to our clients.




Seismic - How the Method Works

1. Place Geophones:

Small vibration sensors are lined up on the ground.

2. Create a Signal:

A source sends seismic waves into the subsurface.

3. Waves Travel & Reflect:

Waves bounce off underground layers and change direction.

4. Geophones Record the Waves:

They capture the returning signals.

5. Analyze the Data:

We turn the wave patterns into a picture of the underground.


The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
