AI Robot System Helps Archaeologists Restore Fragmented Pompeii Frescoes in Major Breakthrough | APT - video Dailymotion

APT

A groundbreaking EU-funded project is using advanced AI and robotic arms to help archaeologists restore long-lost frescoes in Pompeii. The RePAIR system identifies, matches and reconstructs ancient fragments with extreme precision, speeding up work that once took decades. Researchers say this technology could transform restoration worldwide, offering new hope for preserving heritage destroyed by time, war, and disaster.  #Pompeii #Italy #Archaeology

00:00This is a very good idea.

00:05I love you.

00:10I love you.

00:15I love you.

00:20Let's go.

00:50So now the current is very low.

01:10The project repair actually started from a very concrete necessity to recompose fragments

01:17of frescoes that had been destroyed during the Second World War, partly.

01:24So it has certainly achieved this goal, but I think it is part of a much larger development

01:33where we see that in the humanities and archaeology much of what used to be a large part of our

01:42daily work can now be done by technology, by artificial intelligence, by robotics.

01:49And…

03:00No, but what's going to happen is I think that the work of archaeologists will dramatically change

03:07And in some way, I think we will get back to to our origins to the interpretation of

03:15artworks of

03:17daily life of social structures architecture

03:30What is the subject of the painting?

03:32What is it?

03:34The painting of the painting is too boring

03:36The painting is just so boring

03:39and telling the story that it's very boring

03:41The painting is very boring

03:47Tell us about what the painting really is

03:51a very beautiful painting

03:54While the painting of the painting is really uncomfortable

03:56Very often these fresco fragments come from different frescoes, because if a room collapses,

04:18maybe there are frescoes on the walls or on the ceiling, you have all the pieces that

04:23are mixed up. It's like you buy four or five boxes of jigsaw puzzles, you mix everything

04:29together, then you throw away the boxes and then you try to solve four or five puzzles

04:33at the same time.

04:53The sound is weak.

05:05Yeah, you hear it.

05:07It feels like a controller in the middle.

05:15Oh, better.

05:17It was really exciting, especially since the robot system has been installed here at the

05:27beginning of the year, and we spent weeks here to integrate the components and collaborated

05:32with all those partners, the international backgrounds, as we just said, and also the

05:36individual expertise, so it was really exciting.

05:39And I think we complement...

05:55This experiment that we did with Pompeii's archaeological park is one of the first

06:00things that have been built, designed together with archaeologists, a robot system that

06:06allowed us to solve a task, a very complex task, a very complex task for them.

06:12So, it's for themselves an example of how to introduce robotics technologies

06:18inside a archaeological park like this.

06:21What do you want to see? I mean, we're here.

06:23It's OK. I mean, we're here.

06:24It's OK. I mean, we're here.

06:25They're done.

06:26Then it's fine.

06:31It's OK.

06:35I mean, we're here.

06:40It's OK. I mean, they're done.

06:46Then it's fine.

06:48It's OK.
