ArchaeoBot: Application of Robotics and Machine Learning to Archaeology in Island Southeast Asia
Archaeology has been practiced manually since the 19th century, making it labor-intensive and prone to human error. Automating the excavation process will ensure that fossils are handled properly and preserved accordingly, while providing an improved and more accurate cataloging of artifacts. The ArchaeoBot team is exploring the use of robotics to automate archaeological surveys and excavations, reducing human error and improving accuracy.
