Abstract
The three-years European FP7 ARROWS project (ARchaeological RObot systems for the World’s Seas, www.arrowsproject.eu ) concluded at the end of August 2015. The project proposed to adapt and develop low-cost Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technologies to reduce the cost of the operations of a typical underwater archaeological campaign. The researchers followed the suggestions of an Archaeology Advisory Group (AAG), composed of many European archaeologists, to develop innovative technological solutions. A heterogeneous team of cooperating AUVs has been created in the framework of ARROWS: these are both new prototypes and well known commercial vehicles. The main outcome coming from the collaborations between the AAG and ARROWS researchers is MARTA (MARine Tool for Archaeology) AUV, characterized by a strong hardware modularity for ease of payload and propulsion systems configuration change. MARTA is a modular AUV designed and developed by the University of Florence. MARTA, developed and built from scratch, proved to be able to autonomously navigate at sea and to cooperate with commercial AUVs, e.g. with the IVER3 by OceanServer. MARTA effectiveness was demonstrated in two places, different as regards the environment and the historical context, the Mediterranean Sea (Aegadian Islands) and the Baltic Sea.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
