One of the potential mosquitobreeding spots are stagnant waters. It would be beneficial to the mosquito research to monitorand analyze the water properties of the potential mosquito breeding spots. This project used aquadcopter platform to allow a user to pilot the quadcopter to these locations from somewherefurther away. The difficulties, time, and resources can be cut by utilizing a quadcopter platform.This saves time, manpower, and resources as it condenses a trip by boat or foot through hard toaccess areas and allows for safety of the researchers.

parameters.9. GEOMETRICAL COMPARISON BY 3D SCANNINGTo compare our formed model to our analytical model, a 3D scan was completed of each parameter set part andcompared to the Solidworks model. The scans are shown in Fig. 9. Both scans showed an approximate depth of23 mm. Due to the large size of the sheet holder frame, there were a large amount of springbacks on the flat partof the sheets. The springback can be compensated in the program or can be minimized by using a smaller framesize or supporting the back of the sheet metal by partial molds or another robot.Figure 9.a : Depth value (Z) achieved (in mm) using set#1 parametersFigure 9.b: Depth value (Z) achieved (in mm) using set#2 parameters10.
