Development of Integrated Sensors based Unmanned Surface Water Vessel for the Study of Surface Water Bodies

Deliverable

USV fitted with GPS, Depth sensor, temperature and other sensors which can move in both autopilot and manual control mode.

Budget

Rs.5.00 Lakh

Components

Boat Structure

A servo motor based water sampler is also designed to collect water samples from various locations in reservoir. The samples will be stored in bottles placed along a circular plate. The pumping of water will be done by a pump controlled by the microcontroller system. The water sampler can be triggered by the switch of the transmitter.

Mission Sampler

The pixhawk is governed by a ground control software “Mission Planner”. Important actions like arming and disarming is performed through the software, also for autonomous movement GPS coordinates are provided using this software only.
