Can robots be used to monitor and detect pollution taking place in water bodies?
Water quality needs to be maintained at a high standard in order to improve the living standards and health of people in cities. For this purpose authorities need to constantly monitor various water bodies such as ponds, canals, seas, etc. Water is one of the sensitive factors that can deteriorate health and quality of life of people. One of the best ways to collect data is through deployment of robots in water bodies that provide precise data inputs which could be accessed through dashboards by relevant authorities. Collection of water data through robots would lead to better decisions in maintaining a high water quality in cities.
