About

Giulia Sammartano is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital heritage, geomatics, and robotics, pioneering the use of autonomous systems for 3D documentation of cultural heritage and built landscapes. Her work centers on integrating cutting-edge robotic platforms and hybrid reality capture technologies to revolutionize surveying methodologies. As a key contributor to the 4DILAN project, she advanced the application of robotic systems for multi-dimensional landscape and artifact analysis, establishing a framework for modern, non-invasive heritage investigation. Her research on upsampling strategies for terrestrial point clouds, including tests on FARO Flash Technology, has enhanced the resolution and efficiency of 3D digitization. Notably, her preliminary tests with the Leica BLK ARC and Spot® robot represent a significant leap toward fully autonomous 3D mapping for heritage sites, promising safer, faster, and more precise data acquisition. With her publications garnering citations from the geomatics and heritage science communities, Sammartano is recognized for bridging the gap between robotics engineering and cultural preservation, making her a vital voice in the future of digital heritage surveying.
