"US Marines Defeat land mine by stepping over it"
None of these would work in the field. It's both interesting and pointless.
If they didn't work you've increased the robots effectiveness. ie. running slower because you're carrying a fir tree or a box.
If the robot has any human backup you are also worse off.
Anything to confuse the AI has to not hinder you. A smoke bomb with thermal. It's not clear why the DARPA robot didn't have thermal unless this is a really old story.

A thermal camera doesn't mean your targets are conveniently highlighted for you and no further identification is needed. Humans aren't the only thing that can be slightly warmer than the background, and on a hot day they may be cooler or blend in. So it's probably best if your robot's target acquisition is a bit more sophisticated than "shoot all the hot things".
