Simulation of methods of control the dynamics of cyanobacterial blooming using air and surface robotics

Abstract

The paper discusses the problem of water areas contaminated with cyanobacteria and ways to eliminate it through the use of robotic means. Laser radiation has the ability to significantly suppress the vital activity of both cyanobacteria and a number of studied pathogenic bacteria, fungal viruses and other microorganisms. The parameters of laser radiation were modeled with an assessment of the inhibitory effect on cyanobacteria in water bodies. Examples of created attachments with laser emitters, transport unmanned aerial vehicles and surface vehicles used in studies to control the dynamics of cyanobacterial blooms are presented.
