Summary / Reader Response Draft #1

The webpage “DJI Matrice 300 RTK commercial drone” from Avetics Global (n.d) advertises the Matrice 300 RTK drone. The drone is packed with many features, consisting of a transmission  system, enhanced flight performance and rugged design. The webpage “DJI Matrice 300 RTK commercial drone” (Avetics, n.d), mentioned that the transmission system on the DJI Matrice 300 RTK commercial drone is the latest OcuSync Enterprise (DJI enterprise, 2020). The transmission system enables transmission up to 15km away Aventics, n.d). The transmission system has real-time auto-switching between frequencies of 2.4GHz and 5.8 GHz (Aventics, n.d). For secure data transmission, the transmission system does AES-256 encryption (Aventics, n.d). Besides the transmission system,(the Matrice 300 RTK drone has a three propeller emergency landing system) the Matrice 300 RTK drone has a refined airframe and propulsion system (Aventics, n.d). According to the Matrice 300 RTK specification page (DJI, n.d), the drone has a maximum flight time of 55 minutes, 15 m/s wind resistance and 23m/s max speed. Apart from flight performance, the drone features IP45 ingress protection rating and an operating temperature of -20°C to 40 °C. (DJI, n.d). With the latest OcuSync Enterprise transmission system, refined airframe and propulsion system and rugged body design, the Matrice 300 RTK drone is a reliable and (safe) performant drone.

One such feature is the OcuSync Enterprise. OcuSync Enterprise ensures reliable transmission of data between the drone and operator. By having real-time switching between the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz frequencies, the transmission system can avoid the already crowded 2.4GHz spectrum (K.S et al., 2020) in urban areas and utilise the underused 5.8GHz band.( 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz congestion). The 5.8Ghz band is an improvement over the 2.4Ghz band where it faces less congestion and thus lesser interferences and increase reliability. Over long distances, the 5.8Ghz frequency faces greater loss than the 2.4Ghz frequency ( 2.4ghz vs 5.8ghz distance). For long distances, the 2.4ghz frequency is stronger than the 5.8GHz frequency, making the 2.4GHz frequency more reliable than 5.8GHz frequency. OcuSync Enterprise transmission system can use the advantages of both 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz frequency to ensure reliable and smooth signal transmission.

The OcuSync Enterprise transmission system comes with AES-256 encryption. It is impossible to crack AES-256 (AES 256 is impossible to crack). No one will be able to hijack the controls of the drone with the uncrackable encryption of the transmission system. The transmission system allows only the intended operator to operate the drone.

A feature that makes the drone performant is the refined airframe and propulsion system. The propulsion system enables the drone to fly with a max speed of 23m/s. Compared with

A feature that makes the drone safe is the three propeller emergency landing system. When one of the four propeller fails, the Matrice 300 RTK drone will automatically enter the Three-Propeller Emergency Landing mode. The mode will first ensure stability of the drone before proceeding with a controlled descent to land. The system ensures the drone lands in a suitable location and also prevents damage to the Matrice 300 RTK drone and/or people.

The IP45 ingress protection rating of the Matrice 300 RTK drone provides protection for the drone during rainy weather. The rating certifies that the Matrice 300 RTK drone is being protected against any solid foreign object of 1.0mm and greater and water being splash against the drone from any direction. . The IP rating of the Matrice 300 RTK drone suggest that any tasks will not be interrupted by light and medium rain (just how weather resistant).

Revised Self Introduction Letter

Subject: An introduction letter. Dear Prof Brad, My name is Zhi Xian and I am a year 1 robotics systems student at SIT. I am writing to you to introduce myself and also to share with you my interests in robotics systems.  I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a diploma in mechanical engineering. During my internship, I was tasked to automate repetitive tasks. Upon seeing how my work saved a lot of time and effort, I came to realise how important automation is. By continuing my studies in robotics systems, I am hoping to learn more about automation in the industry. My weakness in communication is my public speaking. If I were to communicate with a large crowd of people, I would feel uneasy. I will tend to fold my arms and sway around during presentations, which some people had commented on in the past.  A communication strength that I possess is that I like to organise my ideas and concepts in my speech. I believe that not only will this make it clearer to the listener, b...

Critical Reflection

At the start of the module, I had set a few goals for myself. I had wanted to improve on my presentation skills, my confidence in public speaking and my issues with body posture during a presentation. Most often, my lack of confidence was due to me being unsure if my content and ideas was being relayed to the audience. I was introduced with the concept of critical thinking through the Paul Elder’s framework. The Paul Elder’s framework consists of three main components, which taught me how to ask rational questions, analyse and evaluate data from research and how to build on knowledge by observing ideas. The Paul Elder’s framework was heavily applied when I was researching for content for my report writing and while creating content for my presentation or report. Because of the concept of the Paul Elder’s framework, content for my report writing or presentation became easier as I soon was able to understand how to convey my points and ideas to the audience effectively. Understanding wha...
