Research Focuses
The AUTOMATA project aims to revolutionize archaeological documentation and preservation through an innovative blend of artificial intelligence, robotics, and advanced digitization technologies.
Its primary research objectives include developing cost-effective and scalable tools for the digitization of archaeological materials such as ceramics and lithics. By leveraging AI-augmented robotics, the project seeks to enhance the precision and efficiency of 3D modeling and archaeometric data collection, capturing both visible and non-visible properties of artifacts.
AUTOMATA also focuses on advancing methodologies for integrating 2D and 3D data representations to create enriched, accessible datasets. Additionally, the project emphasizes the democratization of digitization technologies, enabling broader access for museums, smaller institutions, and individual researchers.
