Description: This was my Senior Thesis where I researched the positive effects of unmanned robotic systems in law enforcement. I mainly covered robots and drones used by governments all over the world and their impacts on society. I also focused on bomb robots as it was beneficial for me to "hit two birds with one stone" while working on my bomb bot internship. Defense: I spent most of first semester researching and writing my Senior Thesis.I specifically chose this topic because it related to my internship projects. This research paper helped me learn more about the environment in which my projects were used and assisted me in explaining to others about my projects.
Analysis of Previous Drone/Robot Research Papers (Area 1, Artifact 2)
Description: This was my drone technologies research paper, completed in sophomore year. I had some basic research included in the research paper combined with my 10th grade linguistic patterns. In the research paper I covered the beginnings of drone technologies, government uses of drones, commercial drones, and drones in science. Defense: I used this research paper to inspire my Senior Thesis and give me a head start in the direction I wanted to take. In the research paper, what appealed to me specifically was the research on drones being used by first responders, some of which I used in my Senior Thesis.
