Police and firefighters have their jobs taken away
An army of robots with the strength of 500 adult men combined will become the fourth emergency force, alongside police, firefighters, and ambulances.

According to the Daily Star, this robot army will be ready to serve as the 4th emergency force in 2070 alongside the police, firefighters, and ambulances. With great power and almost unlimited durability, it is predicted that many countries will put such robot armies into operation to help people in emergency situations.
The robot army is described as being capable of working in sub-zero temperatures and in extreme weather conditions as well as the most horrific disasters.
Scientists say the robot army will "supplement and support" emergency services and even the armed forces.
Robots capable of lifting 1,000 times their own weight could be seen on the streets by 2068, according to technology expert Mat Shore. He spoke about the possibility after Britain was almost "neutralised" by winter storm Emma and the "beast from the East" - a cold front from Siberia.

British authorities have had to mobilize the army to support isolated communities, with drivers stranded on motorways by snowstorms, strong winds and power cuts.
“In times of crisis, the need for innovation and creative thinking becomes more important than ever. Last week’s storms clearly highlighted a series of shortcomings that left emergency services unable to cope with extreme temperatures and weather conditions,” Mr. Mat emphasized.
Mat, who has worked for major corporations such as Samsung, GE, Philips and Electrolux, said that only robots can deal with the most terrible natural disasters as well as man-made disasters - including nuclear disasters.
Robot technology is advancing by leaps and bounds as scientists create more powerful and intelligent "robots" every day. However, some experts warn against the widespread use of robots, including physicist Stephen Hawking. Hawking believes that the era of artificial intelligence will also become "the end of humanity". In addition, many workers have expressed concerns about losing their jobs to robots.
