Objective
The workshop will bring together Robotics researchers with researchers in Computer Vision, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and also Archaeology, History of Arts, Architecture. World cultural heritage includes as well Music, Language, Dance, and Custom that are fast becoming extinct as the world moves toward a global village. Robotics, through autonomous learning, humanoids and human robot interaction can help these heritages to face the danger of time, theft, and destruction by fire and war.
Preserving and making accessible world cultural heritage require specially designed robots allowing the capture and reproduction of human gestures or choreographies as well as the exploration of sites that are difficult to access. Hence, versatile locomotion and manipulation skills of robots to achieve exploration, mapping and assistance of archaeologists or field historians are major challenges. So, this workshop will be a forum for its participants to show and discuss the progress they recently made on the various above-mentioned topics. The renowned invited speakers will offer a nice possibility of interaction about the growing interplay of robotics and e-heritage to other participants, such as the youngest researchers who will also have the opportunity to introduce their work and get feedback and advices from the seniors.
Scope
In this workshop, we strongly encourage interdisciplinary extended abstracts and would like to keep a wide scope. However, due to the potentially very large scope and in order to align the workshop with ICRA audience we will require that all extended abstracts:
- Be related (either as primary or secondary focus) to one of ICRA topics as listed in ICRA call for papers.
- Papers actually involving e-Heritage (versus "can be applied to e-Heritage") will be given highest priority.
The workshop is supported by IAPR TC-19 (https://iapr.org/tc19).
