About
Ovidio Salvetti is a leading figure in the field of underwater robotics, with a specific focus on the intersection of autonomous systems and maritime archaeology. His primary research areas include the design of modular Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and the development of low-cost robotic technologies for underwater cultural heritage preservation. Salvetti’s major contributions are centered on the ARROWS (ARchaeological RObot systems for the World's Seas) EU Project, where he spearheaded the adaptation of AUVs to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of archaeological campaigns. He was instrumental in developing the MARTA (MARine Tool for Archaeology) vehicle, a modular AUV designed to map, diagnose, and secure underwater sites. His work on acoustic data analysis for the detection and mapping of submerged archaeological landscapes has provided archaeologists with robust, geo-referenced optical and acoustic data. With his most cited paper accumulating 75 citations, Salvetti’s research has had a tangible impact on the field, bridging the gap between engineering and heritage science. His achievements were notably presented at the Florence Heri-Tech conference, solidifying his role as a key innovator in making underwater exploration more accessible and efficient.
