The main goal of the RePAIR project is to develop innovative technology to virtually eliminate one of the most laborious and frustrating steps in archaeological research, namely the physical reconstruction of shattered works of art. In fact, countless vases, amphorae, frescoes and other ancient artifacts, around the world, have not survived intact and have been extracted from excavation sites as large collections of fragments, many of which are damaged, worn out or entirely missing.

We are responsible for the Integration and evaluation of the robotic system and will provide techniques for planning of bi-manual arm motions and planning algorithms to place the fresco pieces at the desired poses.
