Abstract: In this paper, to solve the current problems of water quality pollution of rivers, such as multiple types, high toxicity and difficult degradation, we design an intelligent surface mobile robot based on the slow release of microorganisms. In the robot, the skeleton has a ship-type structure welded with stainless steel equilateral angle steel; the function module comprises a power supply part, motor part, transmission part, and release part; the wireless monitoring module is based on GPRS and EtherCAT networking technologies and consists of four submodules, including a data acquisition submodule, transmission submodule, database server and monitoring center. The field test results show stable overall transmission performance and wireless data transmission performance of the robot. When the water depth of the rotating cylinder is 0.3 m, and the speed of the rotating cylinder is 15 r/min, the pollution control ability of the robot is outstanding. The experimental results also verify the feasibility of the robot in treating water pollution. The robot can greatly improve the mechanization, automation and efficiency of water pollution control and facilitate the centralized monitoring of joint operations, so it is worth popularizing.
