Exwayz Secures €1M to Scale GPS-Free 3D Localization for Robotics
- Exwayz raised €1 million to grow its technical team and scale deployments of its 3D positioning software for autonomous systems.
- Its SLAM solution is already in use by clients in Europe and the U.S. for robotics and infrastructure mapping.
Exwayz, a Paris-based company developing 3D positioning software for autonomous systems, has raised €1 million in funding led by CentraleSupélec Venture. According to the company, the funds will be used to grow its technical team and scale commercial deployments across robotics, logistics, and industrial inspection.
“Our mission is simple: to make 3D localization accessible to every manufacturer of autonomous systems. We want to break the glass ceiling still limiting robotics today and unlock new applications in industry, mobility, logistics, and safety,” explains Hassan Bouchiba, cofounder and CEO of Exwayz, in a press release.
The Exwayz SLAM solution enables any LiDAR-equipped autonomous system to localize with centimeter-level accuracy by processing 3D data onboard, without relying on GPS. It operates in real time at over 20 Hz, is compatible with all 3D LiDAR sensors, and requires no additional hardware beyond a single LiDAR. The company says its solution has been validated over thousands of operating hours across multiple autonomous robot fleets in logistics, industrial inspection, and mobility.

Clients in Europe and the U.S. are already deploying Exwayz's solution at scale. Embotech, a Swiss scale-up developing autonomous trucks, will use Exwayz SLAM at the Port of Rotterdam for a fleet of 30 vehicles operating in environments with unreliable GNSS signals. In the U.S., Boston-based Cyvl.ai integrates Exwayz into its geospatial data pipelines, supporting 3D road mapping across tens of thousands of kilometers for over 200 municipalities.
🌀 Tom’s Take:
GPS doesn’t always work in ports, warehouses, or cities. Exwayz’s LiDAR-only software lets robots navigate these tough spots with precision.
