Robotics offers innovative solutions for archaeological monitoring, enhancing efficiency and preservation. Current applications include drones for remote surveying, detection, monitoring, and 3D reconstruction, autonomous robots exploring hazardous environments like caves and underwater sites, and underwater ROVs equipped with sensors, manipulators, and excavation tools for direct underwater archaeology. The future prospects of robotics in archaeology are promising, as the technology becomes further integrated into archaeological practices, offering the potential for enhanced excavation tasks and reconnaissance. Ongoing dialogue between roboticists and archaeologists is crucial to ensure that technological developments align with the real needs and challenges of cultural heritage preservation and exploration.
