໒( ͡ᵔ ▾ ͡ᵔ )७ Summary Reader Response (Final) - Astrobee A

 In the article “Astrobee Will Find Astronauts’ Lost Socks”, Ackerman (2021) stated that the robot, Astrobee, will be in charge of maintaining the empty Gateway, which is a permanent space station that serves as a rest stop for astronauts. Test results from the article reported that Astrobee could locate the designated position, detect foreign objects’ blockage, request assistance for blockage clearance, and build a detailed “multi-sensor 3D map”. Astrobee managed to disentangle itself from stray wires and cables, cope with communication interference, and complete all tasks with minimal help. However, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) requires robots to manage situations that call for physical intervention. Since the creation of Astrobee was not to manipulate, it will require the assistance of Robonaut 2, which was created to carry out many chores like an astronaut. Additionally, other robots, such as GITAI’s arm, will also be involved in testing on the Inter...

Astrobee Summary Reader Response A (Draft 2)

Summary  In the article “Astrobee Will Find Astronauts’ Lost Socks”, Ackerman (2021) called attention to the robot, Astrobee, who will be in charge of the maintenance of the empty Gateway, which is a permanent space station that serves as a rest stop for astronauts. Test results have shown that Astrobee is capable of locating the designated position, detecting foreign objects' blockage, requesting assistance for blockage clearance, and building a detailed “multi-sensor 3D map”. Astrobee managed to disentangle itself from stray wires and cables, cope with communication interference, and complete all tasks with minimal help. However, NASA requires robots that can manage situations that call for physical intervention. As Astrobee was not created to manipulate, it will require the assistance of Robonaut 2 who is designed to carry out many chores like an astronaut. Additionally, there are other robots such as GITAI’s arm that will be involved in testing on the ISS as well. In hopes of h...

Critical Thinking: The Soul of Communication

According to the excerpt "Critical Thinking: The Soul of Effective Communication” (2014). It explains how weak critical thinking and communication abilities reduces workplace efficiency which may potentially cost the organization money. Communication, in my opinion, not only encourages team building but also allows everyone to openly express their thoughts to the table. By communicating effectively, the risk of misunderstanding is reduced, and people are more ready to cooperate. Communication is not limited to words; it can also include gestures, visuals, and other forms of expression. Critical thinking, in my opinion is a technique that allows us to analyze and even self-reflect rather than just solving an issue. As critical thinkers' perspectives are based on facts, they can assist the company make better decisions. When communication and critical thinking abilities are combined, work productivity is increased, misunderstandings are reduced, and individuals are more op...
