You're conflating a great deal by not defining "robots".
The choices are:
1. Ordinary machines under human control
2. Machines that perform fixed, repetitive operations automatically
3. Machines that perform variable, repetitive operations at unexpected times, automatically
4. Autonomous machines that perform a variety of operations without human control
5. Tanks, UAVs, and rifles under human control
6. 5. but under semi-automatic human control (At present time, the US mil absolutely requires an officer to issue a lethal order.)
