Critical Reflection

Through this module, I have gained a lot of confidence in both speaking and learning English. As my first language is Chinese, my English language skills were not very fluent, and I found it challenging to express myself effectively in English. This module has been a great warm-up, especially as I prepare for more intense modules in the upcoming trimester. It provided the ideal pace for me to gradually improve my language skills, allowing me to grow more comfortable in both speaking and writing in English. The module also gave me the opportunity to reflect on my past learning experiences from polytechnic. I have realized that learning is not a one-time process; it is something that involves unlearning and relearning. Over the years, I had developed certain habits and methods of learning, but this module helped me reframe some of my ideas and approaches. I have learned the importance of continuously updating and refining my knowledge, especially when it comes to research methods. For ex...

Project contributions

My Contributions to the Team: Researched Drone Types: I explored different types of drones available on the market using Google, which helped me understand various drone technologies. I focused on drones used in industries like agriculture, construction, and delivery, learning about their features such as payload capacity, flight time, and automation capabilities. Explored Delivery Concepts: I investigated drone delivery systems, comparing existing models like Zipline’s medical delivery service with other companies, such as MeiTuan in China, which uses drones for deliveries. This research led me to consider ways to improve Zipline’s approach, particularly for medical deliveries, by enhancing payload efficiency and flight range. Identified Technologically Lagging Countries: I researched countries with slower technological adoption, particularly those with limited infrastructure or healthcare services, where drone delivery could be beneficial. These regions could greatly benefit from ...

Reader Response Draft 3

The “DJI Mavic 3 Pro” webpage from the official DJI (n.d.) shows the various features that the flagship variant of the Mavic 3 possesses. Some of the features shown on the webpage are the tri-camera system. The primary camera is a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera that can capture up to 20 MP still shots and up to 50 fps of footage. Together with the primary camera, the Mavic 3 Pro has two additional telephoto cameras. One of 70mm focal length, gives a 3x zoom while the other, of 166 mm focal length allows the user to take footage at 7x zoom and at 4k60 resolution (Kurkowski, 2023). The Mavic 3 Pro also boast a sensor suite that allows a 360-degree collision warning, alerting the user to any possible incoming obstacles (Singh, 2023). The Mavic 3 Pro also touts an active track system that allows the user to select a subject for the drone to follow and keep track of. In order to be a stable platform to make full use of its cameras for photography and videography, the Mavic 3 Pro makes use of it...

Research Pathway of DJI Mavic 3 Drone

Image
Initial Pathway of research We choose this topic because it is trendy and drones have an increasing presence in our daily lives. 1. We used gAI,  ChatGPT to understand the features of DJI Mavic 3. Using ChatGPT, we entered an input of “What is DJI Mavic 3” and “Help me find source and reference materials regarding DJI Mavic 3 drone such as its features”. 2. Identifying all the features that ChatGPT from our input, the ones that intrigued us which we would like to write about are the drone’s flight performance, the camera system/transmission system and obstacles avoidance. 3. Additionally, we used ChatGPT to help us find some initial research sites that we can begin our work on. Other than the DJI main website, some of the online resources that ChatGPT gave us were: DroneDJ, TechRadar and CNET. 4. With some of the recommended sites, we can go onto Google to spend time reading on the articles and Youtube to watch reviews to understand and see the drone’s features in action. 5. Using ...
