I can see robots as supplements to alot of what we do. In the LE view of things, what about having a bullet resistant "partner" that could lead the way into a dangerous situation better than a dog? From a military POV, what about having the 'bot that can carry extra supplies/rations, is bullet proof, and would be programmed to mention logical problems with a manuever? If we are careful, robots can become highly valuable resources in our lives, but they could never replace humans in certain capacities.
