Earth holds a vast number of artistic treasures in its underground caves. A lot of these caves are still unexplored, others are known but very difficult to access. There is a great need to preserve these noteworthy sites from any form of damage or pollution. Recently new technological solutions have been proposed to allow not only the remote fruition of the artistic and historical treasures of caves that are inaccessible, but also the reconstruction of 2D and 3D maps of the environment which are very useful to study and characterize the site. In this paper we propose a mobile robot that can autonomously navigate the cave and acquire and send information to a remote console. The application of such a solution is advantageous because it does not need the installation of particular infrastructures in the site minimizing the risk of damaging the cave. We have performed an experimental session in the Grotta dei Cervi located at Porto Badisco, along the Adriatic coast in southern Italy. The robot constructs a 2D map of the environment using data from the on-board laser range scanner and builds the 3D model of some zones of particular interest using a computer vision technique. These zones are identified by RFID tags. (literal)
