Archaeological Robotics for Mapping and Investigating Shipwrecks in the Arctic

In the waters around Svalbard there are more than a thousand undiscovered shipwrecks from the early whaling period on the seabed. With the environmental changes rapidly happening in the Arctic, this presumably well-preserved underwater cultural heritage may be under threat. ARCHEOROBOTICS aims to develop methods for autonomous robots to find and investigate these wrecks and secure the invaluable human and ecological history they represent before it is too late. ARCHEOROBOTICS is divided into five interdependent work packages to address various challenges related to detection, documentation and interpretation of shipwrecks utilizing cutting edge underwater robotic technologies.
