Draft 2 Summary The article "Fire fighting robots go autonomous" by Braxton (2021), discussed the capabilities of these particular robots and the benefits of these machines. With more than 350,000 American homes burning annually and climate change contributing to 10,000 active daily wildfires worldwide. Robots can offer some respite to firefighters entering blazing buildings or traversing steep mountains. Over 3000 Americans die from fires annually, which includes an average of 80 firefighters (Scientific American,  2021). With technological advancement, firefighters are now equipped with robots to aid their work. The U.S. Forest Service have been seen using in “remote controlled firefighting technology” to aid in their effort to reduce forest fires.

From this, 3000 Americans die from fires, which includes an average of 80 firefighters (Scientific American. 2019) . With technological advancement , firefighters are now equipped with robots to aid in their work . T he benefits of using the robots are, “being able to enter burning buildings too hot for human survival, penetrate smoke too toxic for human lungs and they are often faster stronger and more agile than the firefighters they work with ” . The use of robots can be seen in The Los Angeles City Fire Department , they are using a robot called Robot System 3 (RS3) to aid in fighting a fire. T he US forest service is also a nother sector which is seen using robots and drones to fight forest wildfires.   Most machines currently in use are remote-controlled, but scientists are currently developing “intelligent" firefighting ...
