Course Description
In this course, we are going to build a prototype for an autonomous drone-based water quality management system. We will use the Sarntal water reservoir next to our hotel to collect water samples. The samples should be collected every day and flown back to the laboratory based at our hotel. The developed system will be deployed to control the water quality of Lake Nokoué, in Benin, West Africa, which regularly suffers from water pollution.
The following topics will be addressed:
- Green Hydrogen
- Solar Energy
- Battery Types
- Autonomous drone flight
- Search algorithms for drone fleets
- Software patterns for drones
- Drone fleet coordination
- Scooping Mechanism for water sampling
- Geographic Information System data
