Design and Development of Aqua Sense Robot for In-Situ Automatic Water Quality Monitoring

In this paper, the prototype development of Aqua Sense Robot is described. The mechatronic design includes a water sample collecting device allowing for water sampling from various depths hence aiming to monitor water quality on site. The basic functions of the prototype were investigated which involved obstacle avoidance, locomotion and positioning coordinates on the water surface. Furthermore, we present the system design of intelligence water quality index classification as well as digital twin architecture as the virtual representation of Aqua Sense Robot.
