How does Agami move through a river?

Agami primarily drifts with the current while using propulsion to maintain progress and navigate around obstacles.

Can Agami be tracked during a monitoring run?

Yes. Agami provides live GPS position tracking and transmits its position and sensor readings over LTE during the monitoring run.

How does Agami support pollution investigations?

By showing where measurements begin to change along a river, Agami helps monitoring teams narrow down likely runoff or pollution-entry zones and focus follow-up investigation.

Does Agami replace fixed-point monitoring?

No. Agami complements fixed-point monitoring by collecting observations across the stretches between established sampling locations.

The Problem

01 / 05

CONTINUOUS MONITORING

Agami is a semi-autonomous river-monitoring vessel that continuously tracks water conditions, detecting sources of pollution as it travels downstream.

02 / 05

LIVE READINGS

Agami sends live sensor readings to your laptop, with GPS linking each reading to its location.

03 / 05

Agami travels with the river’s current, using its propulsion system to navigate downstream and avoid obstacles.

04 / 05

NON-POINT SOURCE POLLUTION

NPSP is a major issue affecting waterways that Agami helps tackle, as locating it is currently expensive and difficult.

05 / 05

MAPPED RESULTS

Agami creates a map of water quality changes, giving a full breakdown of the journey and the data collected.

CONTINUOUS, LOCATION-LINKED MONITORING

Agami: the semi-autonomous river-monitoring vessel.

Agami collects continuous, location-linked water-quality measurements while travelling downstream. The resulting route data helps targeted follow-up investigations.

CONTINUOUS MONITORING · LIVE GPS · LTE CONNECTIVITY

WHY CONTINUOUS

A few samples cannot explain a whole river.

Fixed-point sampling remains essential, but conditions can change between locations. To solve this Agami collects data across the stretches between established sampling locations.

Fixed points show moments. Agami adds context between them.

HOW A MONITORING RUN WORKS

One route. Six connected moments.

01
Select the river stretch
The monitoring team selects the river stretch and defines the upstream deployment and downstream recovery points.
02
Deploy upstream
Agami enters the water at the selected upstream point.
03
Drift and measure
Agami drifts with the current while measuring nitrate, conductivity, turbidity and water temperature.
04
Transmit live data
GPS position and sensor readings are transmitted over LTE throughout the monitoring run.
05
Recover downstream
Agami is recovered at the defined downstream location.
06
Review mapped readings
Location- and time-linked measurements are reviewed across the completed route to focus follow-up investigation.
