Water monitoring faces challenges that are driven by the infrastructure, protection, financial resources, science and innovation policies, among others. A modular, low-cost, fully open-source and small-sized Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) called EMAC-USV (EMAC: Estación de Monitoreo Ambiental Costero), is proposed for monitoring bathymetry and water quality parameters (i.e. temperature, suspended solids concentration and hydrocarbon concentration) in complex water scenarios. A detailed description of each part of the platform as well as all electronic connections and functioning is presented.The field works were carried out in two small waste stabilization ponds and in a portion of the main tidal channel of the Bahía Blanca port. The EMAC-USV is the result of a cautious design, regarding the balancing performance, communications, payload capacity, among others.
水质监测面临着诸多挑战,这些挑战由基础设施、保护措施、财政资源、科学与创新政策等因素驱动。本文提出了一种模块化、低成本、完全开源且体积小巧的无人水面舰艇(USV),名为EMAC-USV(EMAC:沿海环境监测站),用于在复杂水域场景中监测水深和水质参数(即温度、悬浮固体浓度和碳氢化合物浓度)。文中详细介绍了该平台各部分以及所有电子连接和功能。实地工作在两个小型废物稳定塘以及布兰卡港主潮汐通道的一部分区域进行。EMAC-USV是在平衡性能、通信、有效载荷能力等方面经过谨慎设计的成果。
