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 an infrastructure. The ROV is an all-rounded piece of equipment that is applicable to use in multiple rigorous conditions therefore I believe that operating it for underwater inspection is better than having a human diver conduct its inspection therefore it is wise to purchase it.

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 cus

Summary/ Reader response Draft #1 (Deep trekker)

  Deeptrekker promotes the usage of underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), DTG3 (Deep Trekker, 2022) . Among its functions, it is pointed out that the robot can conduct intensive observation under rough conditions and send live feedback to the user. It features an enhanced 4K camera, sonar system, Ultra-short baseline(USBL),  and three precision thrusters. The enhanced 4k camera demonstrates the ideal underwater inspection experience paired with premium lenses and an algorithm unique to Deep Trekker  (Deep Trekker, 2022).  Its sonar system allows DTG3 to assess the surrounding environment for navigation and inspection purposes  (Deep Trekker, 2021) . While the USBL system can be understood as a GPS to aid in navigation.  It is reported that the precision thruster on the machine enables the ROV to accurately make vertical movements  (Deep Trekker, 2022).  One crucial trait of DTG3 itself is its small size which allows the ROV to inspect tight spaces. For such a small size, its batt
