Letter of introduction

 September 07, 2022 Dear Professor Brad, My name is Jau Hui Si, and I am writing this letter to share more about myself. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a diploma in electrical and electronics engineering. Before studying full-time at the Singapore Institute of Technology, I worked as a software tester under Venture Corporation for three short months. Since young, I have always been fascinated by the various high-end technology shown in movies. However, my experience in a semiconductor manufacturing company was what solidified my decision to specialize in robotics back at Singapore Polytechnic. I firmly believe that humans aided by robots can make a positive impact in all kinds of industries. One weakness I have in communication is being too soft-spoken. Being an introvert, I find it hard to communicate with other people. It has been an issue that I have been working on for quite some time. To improve on this aspect, I have been taking the initiative to communicate with...

Critical Reflection

Over the past 13 weeks, I have discovered more about myself. Looking back at the goals I set for myself at the start of this module, I believe that I have met most of my goals throughout this module.  Module Learning One factor behind most of my weaknesses in communication that I identified was my introverted nature. This module helped me know more about my classmates so that I would not feel overly nervous when I speak. My first goal was to become more outspoken. Professor Blackstone patiently helped me overcome this weakness of being too soft-spoken throughout these 13 weeks by getting me to the class and by initiating small talk. I realized that over the past few months, I felt comfortable initiating conversations and I felt less shy when I talk to people around me. I am thankful for the opportunities Professor Blackstone gave me to walk out of my comfort zone.  Besides overcoming my weaknesses in communication, I have also learned more about communication and critical thin...

Summary draft 1 for Deeptrekker (With Juergen)

Deeptrekker promotes the usage of underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), DT640 Utility Crawler (Deep Trekker, 2022) . Among its functions, the robot has the capability to conduct intensive observation under rough conditions and send live feedback to the user. In terms of features, the robot is coupled with an enhanced 4K camera, standard USBL and a precision thruster. The enhanced 4k camera allows users to view under low light conditions and provides enhanced clarity with its underwater correction. Like a GPS system, the Ultra-short Baseline (USBL) position system is software where it calculates the positioning of the ROV. Consisting of a transducer on the surface of the water and a transponder on the ROV, it allows accuracy of 20cm from itself. As mentioned on the webpage, the precision thruster on the machine enables the robot to maneuver vertically with much stability. Accompanied with a rotating camera, the GT63 can provide 270 degrees view vertically upwards and downwards of ...
