About
Enis I. Tekdemir is a leading researcher in marine robotics, with a primary focus on developing autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technologies for archaeological applications. His most significant contributions center on the ARROWS (ARchaeological RObot systems for the World's Seas) EU Project, where he helped pioneer low-cost, modular AUV systems designed to dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of underwater archaeological campaigns. His highly cited 2015 paper, "The ARROWS project: adapting and developing robotics technologies for underwater archaeology" (75 citations), established the foundational methodology for integrating advanced robotics into marine archaeology. Tekdemir also co-authored the influential "Design of a modular Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for archaeological investigations" (35 citations), which introduced MARTA (MARine Tool for Archaeology)—a modular AUV developed at the University of Florence. This work directly addressed the ARROWS challenge of providing versatile, cost-effective tools for underwater cultural heritage preservation. With over 110 combined citations across his key publications, Tekdemir’s research has significantly advanced the intersection of robotics and archaeology, making underwater exploration more accessible and efficient for scientists worldwide.
