This previous week, your team should have established a means of communication (e.g., text messaging, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, etc.) in addition to campus email, and your team should have discussed and selected a problem as the topic of your team’s Research Report. If you haven’t done these things yet, it’s important that you take care of them ASAP so that you have as much time as possible to focus on the project.
After establishing team communications and picking your Research Project’s problem, your team needs to delegate how each team member should be conducting and reporting back their research contributions to the Research Report document in your Google Drive Shared Folder. As discussed in this week’s lecture, all team members might research both the problem and its solutions, or some team members might research just the problem and others the solutions. How you divide these responsibilities is up to each team as long as all team members are contributing equal amounts of research and writing to the Research Report.
For this week’s Weekly Writing Assignment, each team member should independently write a short memo of approximately 250 words and addressed to Prof. Ellis with the subject, “Research Responsibility,” that describing what research they will contribute/have found so far for the team’s research report.

Our topic for this project is self-driving vehicles and the problems and solutions associated with them. My role is to manage the team while also conducting research with the other members of the team. I researched some of the issues that a self-driving vehicle could face for this week’s assignment. What I found from the research is that Using stickers to manipulate street signs may cause self-driving cars to become confused. Meaning, people can manipulate the STOP sign by sticking stickers on it; a person may understand it, but AI can struggle to process it. I also learned that, according to research conducted at Princeton University, attacks on this system had a 90% success rate. As a result, people may be able to alter street signs, and AI may be unable to interpret them; as a result, accidents may occur. In addition, digital light technology functions similarly to a projector. It can be used to project symbols and/or lanes onto the route. This could be used to trick a self-driving car into following the fictitious lane, causing it to crash or divert to a different location.

Our topic for this project is self-driving vehicles and the problems and solutions associated with them. My role is to research some of the positive and negative sides of “Self-Driven Car. So far, I discovered few articles from our city tech library. I researched those articles and added few problems and their solution to our group project google drive. There are a lot of ethical issues that I discovered in the article such as who will be responsible if an accident occurs when the car was on auto pilot. Such issues occur recent times as well with Tesla, and almost more than 27 accidents happened while the car was in auto pilot mode. The solutions would be to make machines or auto driven car more ethical. Some of the other problems that I found was with social interaction. Social interaction is very important for humans. Not only while we drive but in our day to day lives, we depend on social interaction. Driving is an intensely social process that frequently involves intricate interactions with other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. In many of those situations, humans rely on generalized intelligence and common sense that robots still very much lack. The solution for this will be to create a software for the self-driven cars, that understand the environment around them, understanding what other people are doing around them and act instantly if something happening around them.

For the Collaborative Project, the topic my team and I selected is the Migration of Premise Data Center to Cloud Infrastructure. I volunteered to work partially on the Abstract, which is the overall summary of the research report and the Introduction, where I will introduce what cloud computing is and discuss the objectives. Until now, I have found a few articles on samples of how certain clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) provide migration services to organizations. I am also looking into research papers on IEEE through the library database. Initially, I did not know much about this topic. But after doing some research and reading articles about cloud computing, I have learned a lot. In the introduction, I will be sharing the objectives and the problem we are trying to solve. I will also share a brief summary about what the benefits of migrating to a cloud infrastructure are. I am looking forward to collaborating with my team on our research.

They are many problems and good things when it comes to the self-driving vehicle. As Tesla being the first to really advertise and actually come out with it, it’s a very cool feature under the consumer eyes. There’s also been a lot of things that filters it that could endanger a lot of people on the highway or on a drive. Basically, people fear a car having a mind of its own. As the success ratio of AI becoming more advance, it’s more of a good thing as much as it is as a scare. Road changes and also changes so it’s really historical how this device can be able to know when to stop. When these type of project cars were tested at its facility, it was shown that it had a 90% success rate. My only fear personally is longevity. Could this senseless machine last for so long without endangering the people inside of it? Hopefully, as time go on, we start to see more percussion when it comes to these things. Self-driving is the future and it’s something I can’t wait to see how it’s going to come more about.
The topic for our group project is Migration of Premise Data Center to Cloud Infrastructure. I will be working on the following parts: 1. Results of the research – Address The possible issues of maintaining on premise data center or cloud migration problem? 2. Conclusions from the results and discussion. What is the importance of cloud migration to the business institutions. I have found a few articles on the city techs library supporting this discussion.
It seems to be difficult to find general articles there since the majority of them is based on a specific task or particular application. It would be great if IEEE can include more general articles for group work like this. After reading I have learned a lot and think I can make a good contribution to this project as I also have experience in Amazon Web Services (AWS). Since AWS is the future its always a great opportunity to learn about this amazing cloud technology.

Our topic for this project is self-driving vehicles and the problems and solutions . My role is to research some of the problems and solutions sides of “Self-Driving Car Acceptance and the Role of Ethics, So far, I discovered a few articles from our city tech library. I researched those articles and added few problems and their solution to our group project google drive.Problem: Self-driving vehicles seem to be the future of transportation at first sight, but others believe they are not. Some which challenge the safety of self-driving vehicles as the race for maximum automation continues. Should we trust a computer-driven vehicle to do as well as a human driver? There have also been collisions caused by autonomous vehicles that could have been stopped if a human driver had been present. Most of the cases it was partly the driver’s fault for not paying attention although it still raises the question of self-driving cars safety. Another problem with self-driving cars is their lack of stability. Having machines monitor our vehicles exposes us to a cyber-threat. Your car, like your home computer, could be infected with viruses and malware. While the odds of your car being hijacked are slim, this is something to keep in mind before truly self-driving vehicles hit the market.Self-driving vehicles would be more expensive to manufacture, making them more difficult to afford for low-income residents. Since self-driving vehicles are a modern technology, they may be more expensive than standard cars.
Solutions : We’ve discussed the benefits and drawbacks of self-driving vehicles, but one thing we should all agree on is the need for greater protection. The solution to this issue is for self-driving vehicles to be thorough. According to a 2017 RAND Corporation report, the quicker autonomous vehicles are deployed, the more lives can be saved in the long run, even though the cars are only marginally safer than human-driven vehicles (Kalra).It would be difficult to assess safety. To thoroughly test their protection, self-driving cars would have to travel millions, if not billions, of miles. Again, not all miles are created equal; walking the congested streets of a community is much more difficult than traveling on an open highway. To be safer in all cases, self-driving vehicles would need to be checked.

The topic that my teammates and I have chosen is the issue with robots and artificial intelligence. My responsibility for the project is to discuss the safety of human and Robert interaction (HRI). I found article IIEEE with the use of the City Tech Library that goes more in-depth on how human and robot interaction can be dangerous for humans. I also found a news article that discusses how work injuries have increased since robots have been introduced. We all contributed equally to finding a problem that robots or artificial intelligence have and the solution to the problem. We each found a journal or article from the City Tech Library.
