The central aim of this research is to propose a solution to rehabilitate historic places using a robotic manipulator. In this pursuit, the objective is to clean flat or curved surfaces of mihrab/muqarnas and to write lost Arabic inscriptions on spandrel using 7 Degree of freedom (DOF) robotic manipulator. Inverse kinematics solution for 7 DOF is derived by fixing redundant joint and solving the remaining 6 DOF inverse kinematics. Image processing techniques are used to get data from the given image for the robotic calligraphy operation on the spandrel to restore the lost inscriptions. Path planning exercise is implemented to navigate the end-effector on the desired path to write lost inscriptions and to clean curved surfaces of muqarnas. Proposed solutions are verified by simulation using MATLAB. The results showed that the manipulator successfully tracked the given path to perform the desired operation in mihrab as well as calligraphy operation on spandrel.
