Product Summary Draft

According to the website “https://mttr.net/company” (n.d.), Matternet is an autonomous drone technology firm that aims to improve the transportation of goods so that it could be as accessible as information. The company has also worked together with cities such as North Carolina to transport blood and tissue samples.

The drone used, the Matternet compact M2 quadcopter, has some unique functions. First the drone is both an autonomous and controlled drone. These drones are connected to the “Matternet Cloud” that allows them to fly autonomously. In the case of emergency, the drones can be controlled using an app. These drones also come with safety feature such as self-deploying parachutes.

Secondly the drone has its own pad, the “Matternet Station” that allows automated loading of package and battery change. The drones would be able to pickup packages of up to 2 kilograms and fly as far as 20 kilometres on a single charge.

With this feature, the Matternet compact M2 Quadcopter is unique as compared to other commercial drones.

  1. Hi Haziq ! Interest article! I enjoyed reading how fast this devices can travel for medical reasons. My suggestion would be to break ur paragraph down even further as multiple points of information are stuck into one paragraph.

  2. Hi Haziq,

    Great post! We managed to learn about how drones are able to transport medical supplies to North Carolina. We enjoyed your good use of quotation marks to cite the article, as well as for the name of the initiative. We also liked your format for the citation, and we think that it is very well done. There are some points that we discussed to help improve your post, such as:

    1. Language Usage
    e.g "Can complete a delivery in about three minutes"
    "ten flights daily, and more if the project is successful."
    Capitalization "an autonomous drone technology firm"

    2. Content
    We would like to know more about the specifications of the drone itself, such as range, battery capacity as well as the maximum load it can carry.

    As for the third paragraph, we feel that it can be shortened as it doesn't give us information regarding the product, but more towards the project for testing it.
