碩士 === 中原大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 106 === The quality of water in reservoir is an issue to water consumption nowadays. The traditional way of water quality is tested by sampling at specific location by staffs. Asides from investigating the geographic environment and hydrology before sampling, arranging human resource and transportation are also needed. With such dangerous, time-and-cost-consuming works, therefore CYME and CYEE dedicate to marine drone development. In order to improve the problems above, authors expect to develop a manual marine drone to let staffs have access to sampling at some unreachable locations. This Thesis mainly challenge the alteration and control of the boat. First, we do the evaluation of stability of the boat and assess if the boat would overturn with interference of wind and waves. Then we made statical stability curve. On mechanic construction aspect, we upgraded the power system, making it has more power to load the equipment in order to proceed sampling. And last, we tested the boat in reservoir and ensure the water sampling could be done.
