[0001] The present invention relates to a water quality monitoring system that is capable of conducting a water quality test at a specified location, as designated by an authorized person, to assess whether the water is suitable for drinking, accordingly capable of providing suggestions on the water's usability, identify potential risks of consumption, and recommend measures to address these threats.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The increasing awareness of the importance of water resources in maintaining public health and ecosystem balance has led to a growing need for effective monitoring of water quality. As industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural practices continue to expand, human activities have significantly impacted water bodies, leading to pollution and degradation of water quality. In many regions, contamination from various sources, including chemicals, bacteria, and waste, poses serious risks to both human consumption and aquatic life. In addition to environmental concerns, there is also a rising global focus on the management of water as a critical resource, with climate change further exacerbating water scarcity in many regions. This has increased the demand for systems that detect changes in water quality rapidly and provide data that inform policy decisions, industrial practices, and public health responses. With the advancement of technology, there has been a shift toward automated and integrated solutions to improve monitoring capabilities, offering more reliable and timely data for better management of water resources.

[0003] Traditional methods of water quality monitoring generally rely on manual sampling, where water is collected from specific locations and then analyzed in laboratories for various parameters, such as pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chemical contaminants, and microbial presence. While these methods have been widely used and can provide accurate results, they come with several drawbacks. The process is time-consuming, as it requires physical collection of samples, transportation to a lab, and the actual analysis, which can take days or even weeks to complete. As a result, water quality changes may go undetected until after the contamination has already caused significant harm. These methods are also limited in their ability to provide real-time monitoring, making it difficult to address urgent pollution events or sudden changes in water quality. Furthermore, manual sampling is labor-intensive and can be costly, especially in large or remote areas. The reliance on laboratory facilities can also restrict accessibility and delay responses to emerging water quality issues.

[0019] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to a water quality monitoring system that is designed to test water quality at a location identified by an authorized person, determining if the water is fit for consumption and provides recommendations regarding the water's safety, outlines possible dangers, and suggests solutions.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a water quality monitoring system is illustrated, comprises of a bot 101, embodied with a plurality of motorized wheels 102, an imaging unit 103 installed on the bot 101, a pneumatically extendable rod 104, integrated with a three finger based end effector 105, a vessel 106 connected with the bot 101 by means of a set of mechanical linkages 107, each mechanical linkage 107 connected together via a motorized hinge joint 108, a holographic projector 109 installed over the bot 101, a compartment 110 divided into multiple sections, and multiple solar panels 111 fabricated over the body of the bot 101.

[0023] The proposed invention includes a bot 101 preferably in portable cuboidal shape incorporating various components associated with the system, developed to be positioned on a ground surface for monitoring water quality at varied locations. The bot 101 is embodied with multiple wheels 102 positioned at the bot 101 tom portion of the bot 101 to navigate the bot 101 towards different locations at per requirement.

[0024] An authorized person is required to access and presses a push button arranged on the bot 101 to activate the system for associated processes of the system. The push button when pressed by the authorized person, closes an electrical circuit and allows currents to flow for powering an associated microcontroller of the system for operating of all the linked components for performing their respective functions upon actuation.

[0025] The microcontroller, mentioned herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the components linked to it. The Arduino microcontroller is an open-source programming platform.

[0026] After the activation of the system, the authorized person accesses a user interface which is installed in a computing unit linked with the microcontroller wirelessly by means of a communication module. The user interface enables the authorized person to provide input regarding a particular location where water quality is to be monitored.

[0027] The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The Wi-Fi module contains transmitters and receivers that use radio frequency signals to transmit data wirelessly to the microcontroller. The wireless module typically includes components such as antennas, amplifiers, and processors to facilitate communication and further connected to networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks, allowing systems to exchange information over short or long distances. The communication module keeps the microcontroller connected with the computing unit for respective functions of the system.

[0028] In accordance to the input of the concerned person, a GPS (global positioning system) module linked with the microcontroller assesses location of the bot 101. The GPS (Global Positioning System) module working in sync with a magnetometer provides enhanced positioning and orientation information of the bot 101. The GPS module receives signals from multiple satellites in orbit around the Earth. These satellites transmit precise timing and position information of the bot 101. The GPS module receives these signals and uses the time delay between transmission and reception to calculate the distance between the GPS module and each satellite. By triangulating the distances from multiple satellites, the GPS module determines its own position on the Earth's surface. This position is typically given in latitude and longitude coordinates.

[0029] The magnetometer of the GPS module measures the strength and direction of the magnetic field in its vicinity. The magnetometer detects the Earth's magnetic field, which is approximately aligned with the Earth's geographic north-south axis. By utilizing the magnetometer's measurements, the GPS module determine the band heading or orientation relative to magnetic north. The magnetometer provides information about the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, which is compared with the band position information obtained from the GPS module. The outputs of the GPS module and the magnetometer are combined and processed by the microcontroller in order to determine the location of the bot 101. The microcontroller assesses the determined location of the bot 101 and evaluates a route to the authorized person specified location for navigation of the bot 101 to the selected location.

[0030] Based upon the evaluated route, the microcontroller then powers an associated direct current (DC) motor connected with the wheels 102. The wheels 102 have small discs or rollers around the circumference of the wheel 102 that are powered by the motor, enabling the wheels 102 to move in required direction, which provide the bot 101 with the required movement for maneuvering over the surface.

[0031] Synchronous to the actuation of the wheels 102, the microcontroller generates a command to activate an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 integrated on the bot 101 for capturing multiple images in a vicinity of the path of the bot 101 for monitoring obstacle in the path. The imaging unit 103 incorporates a processor that is encrypted with an artificial intelligence protocol. The artificial intelligence protocol operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, data is collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the captured images. The processor of the imaging unit 103 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the captured images and sent the signal to the microcontroller to assess obstacle in the path during maneuvering of the bot 101.

[0032] The microcontroller regulates the actuation of the wheels 102 to avoid collision with the detected obstacle during maneuvering of the bot 101 to the selected location. Post reaching to the location, the microcontroller via the imaging unit 103 investigate a type of water tap for accessing water from the tap for testing procedure.

[0033] The bot 101 is installed with a pneumatically extendable rod 104. The end of the rod 104 is integrated with a three finger based end effector 105. The rod 104 is powered by a pneumatic arrangement associated with the system for providing extension/retraction of the rod 104 as per requirement. For accessing water from the tap, the microcontroller.

[0034] The microcontroller actuates an air compressor and air valve associated with the pneumatic arrangement consisting of an air cylinder, air valve and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the rod 104. The air valve allows entry/exit of compressed air from the compressor. Then, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the rod 104 and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends. For the retraction of the piston, air is released from the cylinder to the air compressor via the valve. Thus, providing the required extension/retraction of the rod 104 for positioning the three finger based end effector 105 over the tap.

[0035] The three finger based end effector 105 is connected with the rod 104 via a ball and socket joint providing multidirectional movement to access the tap in secured manner. The three finger based end effector 105 comprises an electric motor and linked with the microcontroller. The microcontroller provides a signal relating to the force, position, or the speed required of the gripping of the tap. The three finger based end effector 105 receives the signal and its motor carries out the gripping of the tap.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, the tap is pushing button type and accordingly, the microcontroller actuates the three finger based end effector 105 to press head of the tap for accessing water from the water for testing purpose.

[0037] In another embodiment of the present invention, if the tap opening is screw type, and accordingly the microcontroller actuates the three finger based end effector 105 to grip the tap, followed by actuation of ball and socket joint in sequential manner to unscrew the tap for accessing water for testing purpose.

[0038] The bot 101 is arranged with a vessel 106 by means of a set of mechanical linkages 107. A motorized hinge joint 108 is integrated in each of the mechanical linkage. The microcontroller actuates a direct current (DC) motor associated with the hinge joint 108 such that tilt the vessel 106 by revolving along the longitudinal axis. The tilting of the linkages 107 positions the vessel 106 below the tap for collecting the water dispensed from the tap.

[0039] The collected water in the vessel 106 is tested from plurality of sensors embedded in the vessel 106. The sensors include but not limited to a glass electrode PH sensor, an optical turbidity sensor, a temperature sensor, a digital hardness meter, an odor sensor, a color sensor, an arrangement of biosensors, and a polymerase chain reaction sensor.

[0040] The pH sensor is installed with a pair of glass electrodes. When the electrode is immersed into the vessel 106, the electrode senses the hydrogen ions due to the positive charge of the ions. Thus, detecting the pH of the collected water in the vessel 106. The pH sensor further converts the detected pH into electric current and transmit the signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the signals and compares the pH value with a threshold value pre-fed in the linked database.

[0041] The optical turbidity sensor works by measuring the amount of light scattered by suspended particles, such as sludge or sediment, in the collected water. The sensor emits a light beam through the water sample, and as particles like sludge or sediment are present, they scatter the light in different directions. A photodetector detects the scattered light, and the intensity of the scattered light correlates with the level of turbidity, or cloudiness, in the water. The more sediment-laden the water, the higher the turbidity, allowing the optical turbidity sensor to quantify and monitor the concentration of suspended particles in real-time, aiding in water quality analysis.

[0042] The temperature sensor used herein, is composed of two type of metal wire joint together when the sensor experiences a heat then a voltage is generated in the two terminal of the temperature sensor that is proportional to the temperature and the signal is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller calibrates the voltage in terms of temperature from the received signal of the temperature sensor in order to monitor the temperature of the water.

[0043] The digital hardness meter detects the calcium and magnesium content in water by measuring the water’s hardness through a chemical reaction. The meter uses a reagent that reacts with the calcium and magnesium ions in the water, forming a complex. The meter then measures the amount of light absorbed or the change in electrical conductivity resulting from this reaction. The intensity of the reaction correlates with the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, allowing the meter to calculate the water's hardness.

[0044] The odor sensor monitors the foul odor from the collected water by detecting volatile compounds present in the water, typically caused by bacteria. The odor sensor uses specialized sensors, such as metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) or electrochemical sensors, to capture and analyze these compounds and the signal is sent to the microcontroller.

[0045] The color sensor is a photoelectric system that emits light rays of different wavelength towards the water and the reflected light rays are received by the sensor and the signal are transmitted to the microcontroller in order to determine color of the collected water.

[0046] The arrangement of biosensors and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sensor works by detecting bacteria and pathogens in collected water through a two-step process. The biosensors are designed to specifically recognize and bind with target pathogens or bacteria in the water. Once the pathogens are detected, the PCR sensor amplifies specific DNA sequences associated with the identified bacteria or pathogens. The PCR process involves heating and cooling the water sample to facilitate DNA replication, making it detectable. The combined biosensors and PCR sensor provide accurate, real-time identification and quantification of harmful microorganisms, ensuring water safety and quality.

[0047] The microcontroller analyzes the collected data of all the sensors to evaluate the parameters sensed by the sensor include but not limited to pH level of water, sludge sediment-laden in water, temperature of water, calcium and magnesium content of water, odor, color, bacteria’s and pathogens, in the water dispensed from the tap.

[0048] In accordance to the evaluate the parameters of the water, the microcontroller generates an exhaustive report related to water quality. The microcontroller generates a set of suggestions highlighting usability of water, potential threats on consuming the water along with measures to overcome the potential threats.

[0049] The microcontroller is configured with a machine learning protocol for real time update of standard values and number of the parameters to the authorized person via the computing unit. The microcontroller further communicates to the authorized person regarding detection of potential threats possible due to the measured values.

[0050] Based upon the generated report, the microcontroller actuates a holographic projector 109, installed over the bot 101 projects visuals in proximity of the bot 101 for alerting people regarding the water quality from the tap. The holographic projector 109 uses interference patterns of light to create realistic three-dimensional images in mid-air. It typically consists of a laser source, beam splitters, mirrors, and a holographic screen or projection surface. The projector 109 project light onto a surface from multiple angles, using the interference of light waves to produce 3D image visible from different perspectives to inform public regarding the water quality from the tap.

[0051] The microcontroller is linked with an IOT (internet of things) module. The water supply line to the tap is integrated with one or more electronic valves. The IoT (Internet of Things) module controls connected valves by enabling remote communication and monitoring via the communication module. The IoT module is interconnected with the valves via the communication module. In case the microcontroller evaluates one or more of the above parameters are below a marginal value, the microcontroller actuates the electronic valves to cease the water supply.

[0052] Each of the electronic valve, used herein, is a short tube with a taper integrated with fine-tuned valve or orifice that is electronically regulated to speed up or regulate the flow of the water supply. The electronic valve controls flow of water supply line by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from the microcontroller wirelessly via the IOT module. This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control dispensing of the water supply as per requirement to cut off water supply of the tap to the location.

[0053] In case the authorized person selects in lab tests over the user interface of the computing unit, the collected water in the vessel 106 is required to be stored into a compartment 110 installed in the bot 101. The compartment 110 is divided into multiple sections, each section configured to receive water. The sections are connected with the vessel 106 by means of one or more conduits. The vessel 106 bot 101 tom portion of the vessel 106 is integrated with an electronically controlled valve and that is actuated by the microcontroller for dispensing water into the conduit.

[0054] The working of the electronically controlled valve works similar to the working of the electronic valves as mentioned above, for transferring the water into the sections of the compartment 110. The water received in the compartment 110 is used for in lab testing as per specified requirement of the authorized person. The results of the in lab tests, upon conduction, are stored within an inbuilt memory unit of the bot 101. The microcontroller is wirelessly linked with a central server for fetching details regarding age group of people residing in the location.

[0055] The microcontroller, correlates the report and in lab test results with the age group of people. The microcontroller evaluates the correlated results to provide customized suggestions to the authorized person regarding usability of water, potential threats on consuming the water along with measures to overcome the potential threats.

[0056] In addition, the microcontroller saves the real time gathered data regarding water quality along with the location and date of visit for further record to maintain the log of the water quality test. In case the microcontroller evaluates a particular location is identified with poor water quality, in multiple dates, the microcontroller flags the location as inappropriate

[0057] The body of the bot 101 is fabricated with multiple solar panels 111 in connection with a battery, to harness the solar energy for maneuverability of the bot 101. When the sunlight hits the solar panel, an electric field is created by allowing the photons or particles of light to knock electrons free from atom, generating a flow of electricity. The generated or created electricity flows to the edge of the panel 111 and travels through a conductive wire. The conductive wire transfers the electricity to a battery linked to it for storing the converted energy and providing the system with the required energy to function during night in the absence of solar energy.

[0058] The battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the system to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the system.

[0059] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the proposed invention features the bot 101 having the linked user interface that allows the authorized person via the computing unit to input the location for water quality monitoring. The bot 101, equipped with motorized wheels 102 and the microcontroller, navigates to the location via GPS and avoids obstacles using the imaging unit 103. Upon arrival, the bot 101 evaluates the water tap and uses the pneumatically extendable rod 104 with the three-fingered end effector 105 to open the tap. The vessel 106 connected to the bot 101 contains sensors that assess water quality parameters, such as pH, turbidity, temperature, and contaminants. The microcontroller processes this data and generates the report, which is displayed via the holographic projector 109, offering suggestions on water usability. The IoT module cut off water supply if parameters fall below acceptable levels. If in-lab tests are required, the vessel 106 stores water in compartments 110 for further analysis. Additionally, solar panels 111 power the bot 101, and machine learning protocol adjust standard values in real-time, ensuring continuous updates and precise water quality assessments
