Abstract

Cyanobacterial blooms are dynamic biological processes, harmful for the inhabitants and users of water resources, as they can produce highly toxic compounds. The automatic three-dimensional monitoring of waterbodies, supported by smart ASVs (equipped with multi-parametric probes held by a crane, and with positioning, sensing, planning, guidance, navigation & control systems and algorithms) can help authorities to detect them and anticipate decisions to mitigate their risks. This article presents the particular solutions on this approach, currently proposed by the Systems Engineering, Control, Automation and Robotics group of the Complutense University of Madrid.
