IMPACT:

We created an automatic robot to help archaeologists to locate artifacts underground, which saves them a lot of time and work as well. There are products, that can scan an excavation area, but none of products we found could mark places to excavate. 

WHAT WE LEARNED:

We learned about what archaeologists do and how they work. During the creation of our prototype we found out, that movement in terrain is more challenging than movement on a table. We tried a lot of sensors for detecting things and learned about their functions. We also learned about different ways to navigate a robot, that we have never heard about before.
