About

Luca James Senatore is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced automation and cultural preservation. His primary research areas include service robotics, mechatronic design, and the application of robotic systems to Cultural Heritage and Built Cultural Heritage—a term encompassing architectural, archaeological, and constructed artifacts. Senatore’s most significant contribution is the development of the HeritageBot, a low-cost, user-oriented robotic platform designed to assist in the monitoring, analysis, and restoration of heritage sites. His foundational paper on this project, “HeritageBot Service Robot assisting in Cultural Heritage” (2017), has garnered 18 citations, establishing a benchmark for accessible robotic intervention in fragile historical environments. In his subsequent overview, “An overview on Robotic Applications for Cultural Heritage and Built Cultural Heritage” (2019), Senatore synthesizes the field’s potential, highlighting how robots can safely navigate and interact with delicate structures where human access is risky. Through his work, Senatore is pioneering a new paradigm where robotics not only preserves but actively engages with our shared cultural legacy, making him a key figure in this emerging interdisciplinary domain.
