The Automata project focuses on transforming archaeological research by utilizing robotics and AI to create 3D models enriched with archaeometric data. This European initiative aims to produce faster and more accurate digital analyses, making them accessible for cultural heritage preservation.

The Manao project team, along with Bordeaux Montaigne University and Inrap, contributes to this effort. With archaeological excavations yielding vast amounts of artifacts such as ceramics and stone tools, the project addresses the dual challenge of preserving these collections and enabling effective analysis, consolidating data into comprehensive digital models available on the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage.
