About
Marco Reggiannini is a researcher whose work sits at a distinctive intersection of robotics engineering and cultural heritage preservation, with a particular focus on autonomous underwater systems for archaeological applications. He is best known for his central role in the EU-funded ARROWS (ARchaeological RObot systems for the World's Seas) project, a landmark initiative that pioneered the adaptation of low-cost Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technology for underwater archaeological campaigns. His most cited work, "The ARROWS Project: Adapting and Developing Robotics Technologies for Underwater Archaeology" (2015), has accumulated 75 citations and established a compelling framework for making underwater archaeology more accessible and cost-effective. Reggiannini also contributed significantly to the design of MARTA (MARine Tool for Archaeology), a modular AUV developed at the University of Florence, demonstrating his hands-on contribution to both hardware development and field deployment. His research spans acoustic data analysis, geo-referenced optical acquisition, and multi-vehicle cooperative systems for site detection and mapping. Across a sustained body of publications from 2015 to 2019, Reggiannini has helped transform how robotic technologies are applied to heritage science, offering underwater archaeologists powerful, affordable tools for exploration, documentation, and site preservation.
