Application of Robots for Inspection and Restoration of Historical Sites

Abstract

In this paper a study of feasibility is presented for using robots or robotic systems in novel applications concerning with activities related to analysis and restoration of historical sites of architectonic interest. The work has been developed within a collaboration between DART and LARM Laboratories, of University of Cassino. Design requirements and peculiarities of operation of robotic systems are analyzed for the application in restoration of historical sites. The proposed application is completely novel and of great interest.
