AUTOMATA is part of the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), an EU-funded platform providing heritage professionals and researchers with data, resources, training, and digital tools. Developed by ECHOES (European Cloud for Heritage OpEn Science), ECCCH unites Cultural Heritage communities around the Digital Commons. ECHOES enables knowledge digitization and collaborative analysis, allowing humans and AI to enrich cultural heritage understanding. Users can interact with and enhance Digital Twins, fostering new, shared scientific knowledge. Using AI-augmented robotics and sensors, the EU-funded AUTOMATA project will create 3D models enriched with archaeometry data, providing a practical and cost-effective solution for digitisation.Robotic tools with newly developed AI methodologies will improve the digitisation process of visible and non-visible properties of archaeological finds, enhance the robustness and efficiency of 3D digitisation, improve surface appearance acquisition, and integrate 2D representations. This approach streamlines data acquisition, aided by human - AI collaboration, and, in turn, the collection of big, well-identified data will empower the development of AI models. This cost-effective technology will democratise access to digitisation, benefiting the Cultural Heritage community at large, including public and private organisations dealing with culture, education, ICT, museums, creative companies and media, aid preservation methods and restorers’ work, and foster inclusive knowledge - sharing via a dedicated crowdsourcing platform.
