Project goals
To provide novel technology that supports the preservation of cultural heritage by allowing the acquisition of textured digital 3D models in hard-to-access environments.
To extend the technology of autonomous navigation for robots designed to explore unknown underground environments such as caves and catacombs.
To offer a cost-effective support for performing continuous monitoring of these sites and to enable comparative analysis that will allow to devise better preservation plans.
