About
Maria Antonietta Pascali is a leading researcher in the field of underwater robotics, specializing in the development of autonomous systems for marine archaeology. Her primary contributions lie in adapting low-cost Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technologies to reduce the cost and complexity of underwater archaeological campaigns. As a key figure in the EU-funded ARROWS project, she co-designed MARTA (MARine Tool for Archaeology), a modular AUV that integrates acoustic and optical sensors for mapping, diagnosing, and securing submerged heritage sites. Her work has been instrumental in enabling geo-referenced data acquisition for archaeological detection and site monitoring. With over 120 cumulative citations from her most influential papers, Pascali’s research has significantly advanced the intersection of robotics and cultural heritage preservation. Notably, her 2015 paper on the ARROWS project has garnered 75 citations, underscoring its impact on the field. Through her innovative, cost-effective robotic solutions, Pascali is empowering archaeologists to explore and protect underwater cultural treasures with unprecedented efficiency and precision.
