We need robots for three reasons:
First, special forces are having a hard time recruiting and the reality, it's not just them [0].
Secondly, why not purely for defensive purposes? Want to eliminate the effectiveness of nuclear weapons? If we can have self landing rockets. Why not a missile that breaks into multiple rockets in space and destroys all nukes whilst they are inbound?
Thirdly, why should billionaires and those who can afford them have their own private security? Imagine having your own inside the home? 24 hour protection. Only calling the Police to effectively clean up the situation? Could be a new startup right there.
Finally, we should be encouraging darpa and the military to be spending billions on robots. That technology will filter down eventually to the consumer. That's better for all of us.
