[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]
ArchaeoBot is an experimental research project and should not be understood as having conducted or produced the archaeological excavations and discoveries discussed in relation to early Philippine seafaring and ancient technologies as presented in Dr. Alfred Pawlik’s March 27, 2026 Ateneo Breakthroughs lecture and the subsequent April 1, 2026 Ateneo news story. ArchaeoBot is a developing concept intended to assist future archaeological work through robotics, sensing, and machine learning. It is a prospective tool for excavation support, not a standalone solution nor the source of the field discoveries themselves.
