About
Claudia Ventura is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, digital preservation, and cultural heritage documentation. Her work centers on the development of innovative robotic and computational systems designed to explore, map, and digitize archaeological and heritage sites — particularly hypogeum and underground environments that are difficult or dangerous for human access. Ventura's most recognized contribution lies within the ROVINA project (Robots for Exploration, Digital Preservation and Visualization of Archaeological Sites), a multi-year initiative that produced a sophisticated robotic platform capable of autonomously navigating and capturing high-fidelity digital models of complex heritage spaces. Her 2016 paper on mapping and digitizing heritage sites through this framework has garnered 6 citations, while her 2015 work introducing a cloud-based information system for managing these digital models has accumulated 5 citations — together representing a cohesive research vision for programmed conservation. Through the ARIS platform, Ventura further extended these methods to indoor and underground environments, demonstrating a consistent commitment to scalable, technology-driven approaches to preserving irreplaceable cultural assets. Her contributions offer valuable tools for archaeologists, conservationists, and digital humanities scholars seeking reproducible, non-invasive documentation solutions for vulnerable heritage sites.
