How can robots decipher human history? This was the question addressed by the finalist team 'RoboCut' from the Archaeological Research Center and Museum in Neuwied and the Agile and Dexterous Robotics Lab (ADRL) at ETH Zurich. In experimental archaeology, Stone Age tools are produced under controlled conditions and used experimentally. By comparing the microscopic traces on the experimental stone tool with those on real finds, conclusions can be drawn about the use of the real tool. In the 'RoboCut' application, Kuka's lightweight robot guides a stone tool over various materials and saves microscopic images of the cutting edge of the stone tool for later comparison with real tools.
