Design Summary & Reader Response (Analysis) Draft 3

In the article “A Little Robot That Cleans the Beach, One Butt at a Time” (2021) written by Monica Gonderman, states that an Artificial Intelligence (AI) beach buggy robot named BeachBot in short for BB, has a very distinct goal, which is to clean up cigarette butts after the smokers discard it on the beach. Gonderman claims that the BeachBot “measuring about 2.5 feet wide”, helps to pick “some of the 4.5 trillion cigarette butts”, “10 cigarette butts in 30 minutes”, discarded on the beach with ‘its two gripper arms’ and storing them into its storage section and unload manually later.   Gonderman states that toxic chemicals and microplastics are dangerous to sea creatures, especially when the "chemical" leak from the cigarette butt filter. Therefore, to attempt to save the situation, BeachBot creators Edwin Bos and Martijn Lukaart, co-founders of TechTics, “put the project into motion”. Gonderman also mentions that the BeachBot recognizes the cigarette butts by various im...

Soul of Communication

Students are able to make mistakes while given the chance to learn from such errors in school. In workplaces however, careless mistakes will be taken in more seriously and may even be spreaded among the workplace via communication. The standard principle is to work as efficiently as possible as time waits for no one, no matter how much we like to stop it. Given a period of time, if you finished your duties early you can go find more tasks to do. This good behaviour rewards your effects by earning more and creating good impressions among your peers and work mates. To influence your group, the leader needs to have integrity, effective communication skills and gratitude to fully grasp your teammate's efforts, sense of accomplishment and respect for you. With these values of a leader, the team will be able to improve on their work efficiency thus resulting in a more desired result.
