Databases



Although I didn't get a message, now when I enter a number into the chart, it only allows 20 characters no more. Also with the engine capacity no more than 4 characters can be entered. 




These are images of how I edited the type of information entered into my database

Siri App

Here what I have done is created a random reply for Siri to give each time a question is asked. 

Some of the improvements I would make is for Siri is for it to give more relevant answers. Also I would get the app to ask questions back so the user and the app could have a proper conversation. I would add more of a variety of answers to cover many different topics along with maybe letting Siri give images of they are relevant to the question the user asks.

Domestic Robots!

Autom is a personal trainer robot. It can track your progress and instruct daily workouts as well as give you feedback. This would be more useful since it’s not very large and also once you pay for it you can use if freely unlike having a human personal trainer whom you’d have to pay continuously.  It also has a small screen to show you your data.






iRobot Looj 330 is a gutter cleaner. It is a wireless robot that scoops up any leaves or rubbish that may be in the gutters all by the pressing of one button. It saves a lot of hassle by moving by itself meaning all you have to do is press the ‘auto clean’ button and waif o the leaves and rubbish to fall. This is useful to prevent any injuries that could be caused by falling from the roof or ladder.

Winbot Series 7 is a window cleaning robot. The robot uses suction to stay stuck to the window and cleans at the press of a button. It can clean the insides and outsides of windows with no problems, removing debris and dust and any unwanted substances on the window surface. This would save a lot of time on cleaning windows when you could be doing work or something more productive. It also removes smaller particles that the human eye could easily miss.

iRobot Scooba 230 is a floor cleaner. It is a small robot and can therefore fit into tight spaces to clean corners and around objects. Also according to the maker of the iRobot Scooba 230, it can kill up to 97 percent of germs and bacteria on floors. This would be useful for he more tedious jobs like behind cupboards or in the bathroom.


The Husqvarna Automower 230 ACX is a lawn mower. It only takes 45 minutes to charge for 1 hour and 30 minutes worth of usage. It can mow up to ¾ of an acre in size and includes a keypad that can light in the dark and a code lock to prevent any unwanted use. It is useful for the summertime when it could be too hot to go outside and manually mow the lawn, to just press a few buttons and be able to sit in the cool while the robot mows the lawn.
