AB  - Mosquitoes are known as responsible for the deaths via the transmission of deadly disease pathogens. Mosquitoes are responsible for harmful diseases such as West Nile, dengue, Zika, Malaria, and others. By understanding more about mosquito populations, it can assist in developing effective mosquito population control methods. One of the potential mosquito breeding spots are stagnant waters. It would be beneficial to the mosquito research to monitor and analyze the water properties of the potential mosquito breeding spots.  This project used a quadcopter platform to allow a user to pilot the quadcopter to these locations from somewhere further 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 to access areas and allows for safety of the researchers. This water analysis quadcopter platform includes various sensors used to analyze the water composition and properties. These include pH, saturated oxygen, and temperature. They are connected to a custom PCB, and the data can be collected and stored to the device. The data can be retrieved once the measurement mission is complete. The rate of reading sensors can be chosen. Moreover, this water analysis quadcopter platform is capable of collecting water samples for further analysis in a laboratory. This is based on the use of a custom designed peristaltic pump. The pump speed can be controlled, and it will control the amount of the water sample and the speed of the collection. Furthermore, this water analysis quadcopter platform has an underwater camera, and it can record the underwater images and videos. It can potentially be used in detecting mosquito larvae and pupae under the water. This project was carried out by a capstone team of four undergraduate engineering students. One faculty member supported this work and advised this student team. There was one graduate student assigned to help and mentor the team. In this paper, the details of the water analysis quadcopter platform development via a capstone project will be presented.
