iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

We are proud to be just one part of Echoes. To protect and promote our cultural heritage, it takes a village :)

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Not the most glamorous topics, but probably the most important 🫟 How do you explain AI-augmented robotics, sensors, and enriched 3D models when most of the work happens in code, calibration, and data processing?

Using hyperspectral imaging to see the invisible but super-useful informations!

Not all data is worth keeping, clean data matters more than big data. #unpopularopinion

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

This month we are completing a key task: using machine learning to automatically calibrate sensors and lighting during acquisition.

011

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

A camera does not recognise objects, it records light. Everything else, depends on how we process that data.

010

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

What we see is never neutral: change the light or the angle, and the same artefact will reveal or hide its details.

010

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Touching is not secondary. It is how knowledge begins.

010

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Small artefacts, big constraints. 1.5 cm lithics require millimetric precision.

010

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Soft robotics means adaptable grip. Less force, more control, fewer risks.

010

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

The right touch: because in archaeology, touching is starting to know:

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Among the things we’re working on: guidelines and training for cultural heritage operators. Making digitisation accessible, making it useful!

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Research: if you do it, you probably love and hate it at the same time. But on V-Day, we celebrate the things we love ❤️

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Just back from the annual meeting in Bordeaux. Anxiously waiting for 2026 to bring us the integrated AUTOMATA system!

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

An image can speak louder than a thousand words… but only when it’s the right one. In our logo: a pinch of sci-fi, expertise, a ton of creativity. Thanks to Imaginarium Studio, at buff.ly/RJ1LZNX ✨

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

On a scale of 0 to 10, how much would you say you trust AI for the digitization of artifacts?

010

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

If you are in Paris, don’t miss out on our INRAP colleagues at the Digit_Hum atelier! Discussing AI by humans, for humans. #humanintheloop

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Remembering Paris in June: the first AUTOMATA event and the lesson learned: in AI, keep the human(ity) in the loop!

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

AUTOMATA data is in the hands of a data management icon: ADS at the University of York! Meet all the partners on our website!

You know you are ready to present your project proposal when even your mom can understand what you aim to do: true or false?

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 16/09/2025

Shout out to Imaginarium Creative Studio for translating 150 pages of project proposal and endless deliverables in adorable graphics #communication

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Especially grateful to have Culture Lab on board, helping us to navigate the difficult task of communicating #AIforHeritage!

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

How many points does a 3D scan produce? A) Millions B) Billions C) Hundreds

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Lucky to have Universitat de Barcelona with us, taking care of the 3D protocol for artefacts recognitions: we are in good hands!

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

One tiny fragments = millions of datapoints. Are we doomed to drawn in data? #bigdata

010

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Wanted: #bigdata in archaeology. We're trying, check our profiles to see how it's going.

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Meet #KCL, rocking applied mathematics since 1830! A major centre for AI today, helping us with automatic recognition.

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

AI can do a lot, but without skilled humans, it’s not so useful. Training CH operators at AUTOMATA.

IIT is looking for new paths in the age of human-machine collaboration. Meeting AUTOMATA’s partners -> www.iit.it

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

How do you train an AI to think like an archaeologist? You need a question, and you need good, big data.

010

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

3D that isn’t just about visual. The AUTOMATA system aims to integrate context, materials, and metadata.

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

A photo is how something looks. A 3D #digitalobject is how something works. Form, texture, structure: all in one scan.

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

What’s the role of a museum in a robotic + AI archaeology project? At AMZ in Zagreb, real fragments meet the futures. #automata

AUTOMATA PROJECT @automata-eccch.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Last week’s event “The Human in the Loop?” brought different scholars around the same table. Following our discussion, we should have chose a different title: How do we keep ✨humanities✨ in the loop? The conversation continues. #AUTOMATAproject #HumanInTheLoop #AIethics #DigitalArchaeology
