Hello everyone, I am C.C. Aiyappa, I am doing my graduate studies in electronics and telecommunications. The name of my University is N.M.I.M.S. The reason I chose this internship is because it involved engineering and drones really fascinate me, the number of tasks they can achieve and the future potential as well. I believe drones can be used on how to reach places in situations and environments that it is not safe for humans to walk. That is collecting data on research basis and I think we will keep growing by using drones. In the beginning of my internship I was to familiarize myself with the types of drones. I realized how the underwater rov and air drones and other drones have similar structures, similar electronics that are being used. This is a small model that I have made, which is still in the making, that I use solid works to a model. I use different kinds of plastics for the parts. In my free time I really enjoyed at first exploring the city. I loved my evening walks next to the boat side. Exploring the city, walking by the boat side. I really enjoyed going in the evenings there, daily actually. I always found people to play with there. In my experience the people here have been friendly. I have learned a lot of Greek. A lot about the Greek culture. It’s been really fun and safe. My living space has been safe as well. I’ve been enjoying myself and still do what I enjoy more. So I never had any issues but whenever I had any smaller problem I was given a lot of individual attention by my mentors and my professors and I had a very comfortable stay. |
