i am totally in agreement that they will largely evolve in paralell. i just think the market op is much higher for mil tech now. Most technologies are funded and developed in research stage for military applications, internet being one example. your example was (and i assume you mean far future) a super hard problem. terminator was a fully intelligent super being. i am talking about the development of the class that boston dynamics is/has built. they can run around in open environments and could do recon, supply and very basic defensive or offensive maneuvering. i think (and could be wrong) the granular dexterity to fold a shirt is super hard. also, training would be non trivial. i think robots and augmentation will be mil -> commercial -> consumet. and this is happening. soon all 3 will evolve in parallel and converge on apecific applications
