Abstract
The lakes of UTeM, namely Cemerlang, Terbilang, and Gemilang, have long been cherished as beautiful and vibrant bodies of water, providing a serene environment for various recreational activities. However, the outbreak of leptospirosis in the region has caused a significant threat to public health and safety. As a result, these once-thriving lakes have been shut down during the MCO, depriving the UTeM community of the opportunity to engage in wonderful activities such as kayaking and boating. Therefore, introducing an innovative Smart Airboat equipped with advanced water quality detection technology can revolutionize the way we monitor and maintain the safety of the lakes. This device would provide real-time and accurate assessments of the water quality, including the presence of leptospirosis bacteria, thus enabling prompt action and prevention measures. The resulting product is a Smart Airboat, innovatively constructed with a base of durable PVC material. The boat's locomotion is powered by a DC motor, a propeller to generate water flow, and a servo motor to control direction. This combination ensures reliable functionality and durability even in a challenging water environment. The prototype has proven to be efficient in carrying out its functions. The project exhibits the application of mechatronics system design and engineering principles to devise a practical, innovative, and sustainable solution for monitoring and improving water quality in real-time.
