IoT-Enabled Water Pollution Monitoring Remote Controlled Boat with a Debris Collection system in Aquatic Environments

This paper presents an IoT-enabled remotecontrolled boat designed for water pollution monitoring and cleanup. Water pollution, a pressing global issue, poses significant threats to ecosystems and human health. This study addresses the challenge of real-time water quality monitoring and debris collection. The boat measures water quality parameters such as temperature, pH, and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) using advanced sensors and microcontrollers, including Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi 4B, and ESP32. Data is transmitted to a cloud platform, ThingSpeak, for real-time analysis. Initial tests confirmed reliable sensor calibration, remote control, waterproofing, and stable data transmission. Planned future improvements include machine learning for data pattern prediction, complete autonomy with object avoidance, and advanced navigation capabilities using YOLO software. The developed prototype offers a real-time, comprehensive solution for water quality assessment and debris collection system.
