  The Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 is an autonomous floor-cleaning robot, designed to vacuum and mop(Eren & Doğan, 2022). Our research focused primarily on evaluating its cleaning ability, specifically its cleaning strength and its effectiveness in cleaning hard-to-clean areas. The cleaning strength is determined by three features: the suction mechanism, which creates a vacuum to attract dirt to its dustbin(Asafa et.al, 2018); the pressurised mop, which uses pressure to mop the floor with a cloth eliminating water stains , and the fibre brush which sweeps up dust(Mi, n.d.). The effectiveness of its ability to clean hard-to-clean parts is then determined by the side brushes and its manoeuvrability. The side brush kicks up dirt to direct it into the vacuum area and is evaluated on how well it cleans along edges and tight spaces(Layton, n.d.), while its manoeuvrability is more complex, being assessed by multiple aspects. In a domestic household, robots need to manoeuvre under tables and ...

We decided on robot vacuum cleaner as it is something we use on a daily basis We did a general google search to find common models used by people We decided on xiaomi as the specifications and functions of the robot is easily accessible online. There were reviews about it , providing us vast range of resources to work with. Oragnised the specifications into different categories. It can be seen that there are many features and technologies used in the robot We used google scholar to search up on features and technologies articles, and found 4 to 5 articles We narrowed down to 2 main points to elaborate, i.e cleaning strength and effectiveness in cleaning difficult areas

 Introduction letter Dear Professor Brad I am writing to introduce myself and provide you with some insights about my background, skills and interest. My name is Jack a year 1 student studying in Singapore Institute of Technology majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Firstly, the reason why I chose mechanical engineering specifically is because I wanted to study something that is versatile, and I would want to work in the bank or finance industry. Another reason is because I have been advised that banks do hire engineers due to our problem-solving abilities. During my year 2 specialization, I would like to take on mechatronics route as it will  incorporate IT related modules which would be more relevant to the industry I am planning to take in the future. During my time in SIT, I have participated in a few CCAs such as tennis, dance and SIT ambassador. I joined CCA is because it is the last few years of my student life, and I would like to make the best out of it. Outside of...
