Week 13: Critical Reflection

At the beginning of this course, I set a few goals and objectives that I intend to achieve by the end of this module. These objectives were to better communicate my intentions effectively and at the same time be able to think coherently leading to sound judgments. Throughout these albeit short and impactful three months,…

Design Summary Reader Response: Triple-bogie system

In the article “Moving on Mars” (2019), the European Space Agency (ESA) documented the locomotion system of Rosalind Franklin that was created for the ExoMars mission in 2023. The system combines several different components to traverse the various terrain of Mars. From past experiences, the wheels of other rovers tend to get stuck while carrying…

Reader response draft 3: Locomotion system of Rosalind Franklin ExoMars Rover

The triple-bogie locomotion system on the Rosalind Franklin ExoMars rover was implemented by the European Space Agency (ESA) after several rover missions to Mars. The triple-bogie made wheel-walking possible and allowed the rover to gain traction in the varying Martian terrain. The system also allows the rover to overcome large obstacles and achieve smoother motion. …

Reader Response Draft 1: Locomotion system

After doing a considerable amount of research on the locomotion system utilized by the Rosalind Franklin Mars rover, I am confident that it is capable of traversing the perilous surface of Mars. In the article “Moving on Mars” (2019), the European Space Agency (ESA) stated that the introduction of a triple-bogie system that made wheel-walking…

Introduction letter

Dear Prof Brad, I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Colin, also known as Qi En. I am a first-year robotics systems engineering student, and I am writing to you today to share a story.  I graduated with a Diploma in Landscape Design & Horticulture at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in 2019. Back…

Day 2

How do you see communication and critical thinking impacting your future role as a leader in the workplace. (150-200 words) The two words communication and critical thinking, reminded me of a few quotes, “Communication is key” and by the renowned Albert Einstein. Although these quotes are known by many and are excerpts from the brightest…

Day 1

“Without clear lines of communication, our ideas would stay within our own small development teams instead of becoming mature products. While this is obvious to those of us who have become experienced engineers, the real question is: Why is it lost to us when we are engineering students?” – Akbar R Khan, Software Systems Engineer,…
