In the article “Yeedi Vac Station review”, Cowton.H (2021) introduces the technical specifications and functionalities of the Yeedi Vac Station. The Yeedi Vac Station consists of a round robot vacuum and a large docking station. The robot vacuum will automatically map out the house floor plan for the first several uses and identify different rooms. With the Yeedi app, users can view the location of the robot and set cleaning schedules or have the robot vacuum start cleaning once it's fully charged. According to the author, when the robot vacuum returns to the docking station for a charge, it is capable to empty its 450ml capacity dustbin automatically into the docking station. The docking station contains a 2.5-liter capacity dust bag that could last up to 30 days before manually emptying it. The robot vacuum has a three-pronged side brush for reaching into tight corners and a motorized floor brush with three levels of suction power namely standard (600Pa), max (1,500Pa), and max+ ...

Dear Professor Brad, I am writing to formally introduce myself to you. My name is Chen Chi Lok (Roy). I have been pursuing courses related to engineering since college started. I graduated with a Nitec in mechatronics engineering at the Institute of Technical Education, followed by a diploma in biomedical engineering at Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP). Currently, I am a first year student studying robotics systems engineering at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). The good thing about being an engineer is that if something isn't working my way, I can just make it exactly how I want it. With that knowledge and application, I now control the room ambience and temperature verbally with voice control. As a side hustle, I provide smart home integration technology to my customers. In the future, I would like to create an A.I for commercial use, however the idea of an A.I go rogue is real, so to further understand the concept of A.I, I chose robotics systems engineering. Aside fr...

According to Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson,  For career advancements and ensuring employability, it is crucial for every graduate to develop their communication skills. Being an effective communicator is an essential requirement that employers seek within graduates.

My takeaway from the article is “Time spent right equals money.” The key to every successful group project is communication and being organized. It is easier said than done. From past experiences, a group of A’s students that split workloads individually scored much lower as compared to a harmonious group of B’s students. However, it never crossed my mind that poor communication in society could cause such damage. With the monetary statistics provided, if we are able to mitigate the consequences of poor communication, much resources could have been put to better use.  In today’s society, I feel that communication is often taken for granted. Exchange of information was made easy with smart devices but the content often lacks clarity. With critical thinking embedded in us, the thought process could clear up any doubts, ensuring productivity and effective communication. School ambassador executive committees are often found equipped with analytical skills. With the ability to identify...
