Team : Ruth and Heng Kiat: In the article, "Mars 2020 Mission Perseverance Rover" (n.d), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) documented respective systems of the Perseverance Rover such as the navigation system that encompasses multiple instruments, namely, the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Navcam, and Hazcam. The article states that the IMU is a system composed primarily of gyroscopes and accelerometers, which give the rover directional information on its location using three-axis data. As the rover advances, the data collected on its position is utilized to make accurate vertical, horizontal, and side-to-side motions as well as to ensure safe navigation on the terrain.  NASA also mentions that their Navcams and Hazcams are cameras that produce stereo images displaying the immediate surroundings for detection and tracking of potential hazards in addition to supporting a safe path to navigate. In conclusion, these features constitute a fraction of NASA

Team : Ruth and Heng Kiat: The navigation system of NASA's Perseverance rover encompasses six instruments, namely AutoNav, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Navcam, Hazcam, Ultra-High Frequency antenna, and X band antenna. Autonav is an automated driving system performing 3D mapping of upcoming terrain, hazard identification, and trajectory planning for obstacle avoidance. IMU is a system of gyroscopes and accelerometers that provides 3-axis information on the rover's position. Navcams and Hazcams are cameras that produce a 3D map displaying the immediate surroundings for detection and tracking of potential hazards as well as ensuring a safe path to navigate. The cameras can also be used to perform visual odometry by using displacement of the image features to estimate position change. The antennas are used for receiving navigational instructions from the Earth for the rover to execute them. Therefore, the instruments are essential to help the rover know its current position and

 Subject: Self-Introduction Letter Dear Professor Blackstone, I am writing with an intent of introducing myself to you. My name is Lim Heng Kiat, I am currently an (RSE) Robotics systems engineering student studying in (SIT) Singapore Institute of Technology. As compared to people of the same age group educations, I had come by a long way route. I did not successfully pass the o levels examinations, so I had to go through institute of technical education for my Higher Nitec study as a mechatronics engineer, afterwards I went to have my diploma educations in Singapore polytechnic as a mechatronics robotics engineer. When I was young, I had watched a few movies and series which story about how AI robots interact with humans which pique my curiosity on actually building my own AI robots. Therefore, it inspires me to join mechatronics and robotics courses to move closer building my own AI human size robots. The weakness of my communications skills is that I lack of confidence in speaking,

Having good communication skills is important as a leader, good communication can boost teamwork and lead to better project collaboration. You always need to communicate/talk with your employees to ensures that management and the team below them are on the same page. People usually misunderstand easily and having good communication helps to clear miscommunication with them so that they are confident with the work at hand, in addition, we are also assured that the team members are correctly undertaking that work. Secondly, a part of communication is also listening. When employees feel like they’re being listened to, they do feel being valued and appreciated which creates a more collaborative culture. It also gives you the chance to understand issues or concerns about a task from an employee’s perspective. Having good critical thinking is also important, as it help us to think rationally by enforcing research about the topic, scrutinize and evaluate arguments, taking different perspectiv

 "Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp. If a leader do not communicate well with people, people would not able to understand him and will not be able of doing the correct things on time. It will the same as the leader not passing down the message. so the leaders must need to know about their team member, and how to communicate with them easily. And know how to motivate his people while sending the message across. Also setting a deadline to suit the members ability and project deadline.
