Researchers have developed a collaborative system for reconstructing fragmented paper documents, particularly for cultural heritage preservation. The system utilizes a collaborative robot with a vacuum-based suction attachment for precise fragment positioning, achieving a repeatability of 0.57mm for 8cm^2 fragments. It offers both manual and automated positioning options, enhanced by AI methods for image interpretation, segmentation, and positioning. The SE2-LoFTR local feature matching method was selected for its robust performance in reconstructing damaged and optically altered archival materials. AI
