  Little’s (2021) article “Firefighting Robot Go Autonomous” informs the public about the research on using autonomous firefighting robots in the future. With more than 350,000 American homes burning yearly and climate change contributing to 10,000 active daily wildfires worldwide. These firefighting robots can offer to help reduce the risk of the firefighters as they can perform higher-risk tasks for humans as these robots are often, more robust, and agile (Little,2021). Little (2021) added that researchers are looking into “developing “intelligent” firefighting robots that can make decisions autonomously”. The same author also reported a firefighting robot named Robotics Systems 3 (SR3) has proven its capabilities and is now being used by the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD). In the article LAFD Assistant Chief stated that RS3, "has met some of these real-world mobility challenges and proved useful by dragging hose lines up steep hills and even pulling horses out of mud q...

Critical Reflection

-
  Module Learning At the start of the module, I was tasked to set 2 goals to achieve by the end of this module. In a blink of an eye, 13 weeks have passed and it’s been a fruitful journey.   The first goal was to refine my grammar and organize my ideas properly. In the first few weeks of the module, I learn how to organize my thoughts through the Paul-Elder Framework and the 7 C’s of communications. Before reading about the framework, I always find it difficult to arrange my thoughts to whether is it enough or if the message relayed was clear. The framework allows me to arrange and structure my thoughts correctly as well as put them into words. This framework has been my blueprint ever since it was introduced to me. I find it easier to write my reports and assignments with the guide of the framework. With this module, there are samples and rubrics which I can refer to sense how it should be written. To refine my grammar, I started paying more attention to every single wo...

Critical Thinking, The Soul of Communication

-
After reading the following excerpt, it’s shocking how US$37 billion loss was resulted in poor communication. Critical thinking was lacking during the thought communication process. Critical thinking is the driving force that leads to effective or poor communication amongst individuals. As stated in the excerpt above, “Critical thinking, quite simply, is the tool to coherently build our thoughts”. It refers how our thoughts can accumulate to an effective and conducive environment to work or live. With an effective environment to be surrounded around, the number of positive employee engagement amongst colleagues will increase drastically. In a nutshell, critical thinking set out the guidelines to effective communication. Both critical thinking and communication work together as one.
