  The article “Firefighting Robots Go Autonomous” written by (Little, 2021) addressed researchers’ breakthroughs in developing firefighting robots and their capabilities. As Neil Sahota, an inventor who advises the United Nations on artificial intelligence issues commented “mobility is the big complication” (Little, 2021), many researchers are faced with the problem to tackle when it comes to developing either a remote-controlled or autonomous firefighting robot. However, weighing 3500 pounds and fitted with tanklike treads and a huge plow nose at the front, the Robotics Systems 3 (RS3) is able to pull hoses up inclined slopes and heavy objects out of ditches. The RS3 is fitted with multiple cameras for ease of operation from a safe distance of 900 feet from the user. Equipped with four cameras, these give the operator the full view of the robot’s surroundings both in normal imaging and thermal. With the help of the cameras, the operator is able to not only guide the nozzle to the requ
