AQUAMON significantly expands monitoring capabilities by integrating autonomous robotics that operate on water surfaces, underwater environments, and in the air. These robotic platforms make it possible to collect high-quality data in locations that are difficult, dangerous, or costly to access manually.

Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) conduct rapid bathymetric surveys, sub-surface profiling, and automated water sampling, mapping pollution plumes and monitoring treatment processes in real time. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), equipped with advanced hovering and inspection features, provide detailed views of submerged structures and contamination hotspots, blending the benefits of both autonomous and remotely operated systems.

From above, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with multi-spectral and hyperspectral imaging offer broad spatial coverage for detecting surface pollution, tracking runoff dynamics, and monitoring ecosystem health.

A coordinated control system ensures that all robotic units work together efficiently—optimising path planning, ensuring full coverage of target areas, and adapting to changing conditions. This robotic ecosystem dramatically improves spatial and temporal monitoring resolution across rivers, lakes, coastal zones, sewer networks and treatment facilities.
