New Activities For Cultural Heritage

Abstract

The paper presents of a prototype of HeritageBot Platform for demo purposes with features of low-cost construction and user-oriented performance. The design requirements are presented for application in monitoring and working within frames for conservation of goods of Cultural Heritage. The design of the robotic platform is conceived with modular structure with a module for locomotion and a module for short flight. A prototype is presented with its construction peculiarities and preliminary test results through an evolution of solutions.
