How did you and your group come up with the idea for the robotics company?
Since my team and I love astronomy, we decided to work for NASA. Before we decided to work for NASA, I suggested that we work for Apple. This made us think and we decided that it might be too odd for Apple to work on a robot or partner with NASA. The name of our company comes from of the first letters of our names (Jasmine, Alyra, Leo, Johanne) hence the acronym JALJ.
What is the most challenging part of the project?
the most challenging part of the project (from my point of view) is communication. Just days before we presented to the class about our robot, I checked the website and I saw that there needed to be changes to the website. I contacted Leo and Alyra but, both of them were not able to do the website. This gets harder because on Wix, if you make a change, it doesn't update to others immediately so, you really need to tell the other team members what you changed and this takes up time.
Is the final product something that you could realistically be built and marketed in our society?
INYX could be built since we based it out on real robots. Since its for exploring space and helping in labs in NASA then, no. If we built a version for civilian use, then, yes. it could be used to help out in chores or help in hospitals.
What are your thoughts about technology (such as robots) being used in our lives?
Technology helps us a lot. without technology, it would make it slower for us to share information to others . This also helps people to discover more things that we never knew before.
