Reader Response Summary + Thesis

The iRobot Singapore official website (n.d.) introduces the iRobot Roomba j7+ smart home cleaning robot. The J7+ model went on sale in September 2021, and features many upgrades from its predecessor, the iRobot Roomba j7. Amongst its upgrades, the Imprint Smart Mapping Technology allows users to tailor each cleaning run according to their needs. The robot is able to store multiple layouts, should there be many separate areas that require cleaning. According to Mauder (2022), the robot is able to autonomously map the layout while simultaneously running a cleaning job. The layout program can be conveniently accessed from a smartphone and also provides the approximate cleaning time for each run. The j7+ model also comes with the PrecisionVision Navigation feature that helps it increase cleaning efficiency. According to iRobot Singapore (n.d.), the robot includes 2 different navigation features, the iRobot Genius Technology and the PrecisionVision Navigation, that allows it to discern common household objects, and evade them. This provides for less pre-use preparation on the user’s part. According to iRobot Singapore (n.d.), the iRobot Genius Technology also allows for individualized cleaning recommendations based on which area requires more or less attention from the robot.

Thesis

The iRobot Roomba j7+ is a direct upgrade to the previous models that utilizes a wide array of features and technology, including the Imprint Smart Mapping technology and PrecisionVision Navigation to provide efficient and effective cleaning.

Formal Introductive letter to professor

 Dear Professor Blackstone, I am writing this introductory letter to you in hopes that you can get to know be better. My name is Hendrick Yip Jun Heng, and I am a mechanical engineering undergraduate student studying at Singapore Institute of Technology(SIT). I previously graduated from Singapore Polytechnic(SP) with a diploma in mechatronics and robotics. This is in line with my passion, that is robotics and programming. My interest in robots, specifically automated vehicles, was developed from a young age when I attended many extra-curricular classes on basic programming and robotics during the school holidays. During those courses, I was exposed to building my own robots and learned multiple programming languages such as Python and C++ to control them. I hence decided to pursue an education and future career in robotics engineering. One part of communication that I feel I am strong at is that I am able to work well with unfamiliar faces should the need arise. For example, during our

Critical reflection (Module and project learning)

 Module Learning During the first few lessons of this module, I admit that there were many instances where I questioned its usefulness and relevancy, especially because during the first few weeks, the workload for this module was way higher and more fast paced than my other core modules. I remember asking myself on multiple occasions why is writing a reader response or writing an introductory email to my professor even useful for an engineering student. However, I told myself to just go with the flow and do my best regardless as my GPA was on the line. And to my surprise, I found out that with each and every class I attended, there was without a doubt something to take away. Whether it was a way to improve on my writing skills, or how to give a good presentation. I realized how important this module actually was, and that there will always be things so learn and improve on, especially when it came to communication.  One of the most important parts of this module is writing formal repor
