Design and Implementation of a Laboratory Sample Collection System Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

Abstract

The use of innovative technology is available to apply in many ways and in different fields of knowledge, the Horus research group, has focused its efforts implementing solutions, integrating unmanned aerial vehicles known as drones in different areas. The use of drones to perform different tasks is not new, but from the point of view of the Horus research group, it was established that this technology can be applied to analyze different water systems with possible contamination quickly and efficiently, otherwise to collect samples in places where access is difficult it would take more time and money in the process. For that, a system was designed using a drone assembled by the research group with a pumping system, to collect samples for further analysis in laboratory in a way that they are not contaminated using technical standards according to the regulations of the area where they are collect.
