About

Annapaola Micheli is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics and cultural heritage preservation, best known for her pioneering work on the HeritageBot service robot. Her major contribution lies in the design and development of low-cost, user-oriented robotic platforms specifically tailored for Cultural Heritage frameworks. As demonstrated in her highly cited 2017 paper (18 citations), she introduced the HBOT Platform—a prototype that balances affordability with robust performance, making advanced robotic assistance accessible for heritage sites. This work addresses the critical need for non-invasive, automated solutions in conservation, monitoring, and visitor engagement. Micheli’s research has significantly advanced the practical application of service robotics in heritage contexts, bridging engineering and cultural preservation. Her achievements include leading the HeritageBot regional research project, which has set a benchmark for cost-effective robotic interventions in historical environments. With her innovative approach, Micheli continues to inspire new pathways for technology to safeguard and enhance our shared cultural legacy.
