Concept
Asano would help scientists and researchers save time by collecting water samples for them. It also removes the possibility of health and safety risks for the personnel.
It keeps a clean log of data (e.g. location where each sample was collected from, time of sample collection) to assist in making accurate scientific reports.
Our product is primarily aimed at research institutions interested in testing and improving the quality of water. It may also be utilised by public or private sector organisations that are looking for reducing water pollution and increasing water quality for the agricultural industry or for increasing availability of drinking water.
Use Case: Autonomous Control
1. Launch the Asano application.
2. Set n (max. 12) points for Asano to take samples from on the map.
3. Deploy Asano in water, and turn it on.
4. Asano uses its autonomous navigation system to navigate and collect samples. Real-time location can be tracked on the app.
5. Notification on the app would provide an alert once all samples have been collected, and Asano would return to starting point.
6. Details of all samples can be accessed on the app.
Exception: If a low battery notification appears on the app, the user would need to manually navigate Asano to the nearest shore for collection.
Use Case: Manual Control
1. Launch the Asano application.
2. Set n (max. 12) points for Asano to take samples from on the map.
3. Launch Controls on the app, and control the boat using the controls provided.
4. Real-time location can be tracked on the app.
5. When all samples have been collected, navigate the boat back to the shore.
6. Details of all samples can be accessed on the app.
Exception: If a low battery notification appears on the app, the user would need to manually navigate Asano to the nearest shore for collection.
