Abstract

This paper outlines the potential of service robots as applied in frames of Cultural Heritage. Several applications are discussed such as inspection, searching/surveillance operations, identification, analysis, preservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage goods. Key design requirements are outlined for robots to be applied for servicing Cultural Heritage goods or sites. Related experiences at LARM in Cassino are outlined in order to clarify aspects of engineering feasibility and implementation.
