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. The company have been testing and using remote controlled airdrop spheres called “dragon eggs”, these “eggs” are filled with potassium permanganate and glycol, and has the ability to keep the fores

  Draft 1 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. 2019). With technological advancement, firefighters are now equipped with robots to aid their work. The Los Angeles City Fire Department can be seen using robots to assist them, one of the robots is the Robot System 3 (RS3). The $300,000 RS3 was funded by the American Firefighting Foundation, the unit is capable of blasting water 10 times the rate of a conventional fire hose, and has four cameras which can show where the water is being sprayed and thermal sensory
