If they are unarmed then what possible objection could there be?
For scenarios you've presented there would be no need to arm them and thus it would seem a better solution than putting people in harms way.
If they are armed then it's a whole different debate.

Function creep.
The first ones would go in all flirty and friendly, but after getting roughed up a bit there would be a need to protect this valuable equipment, and in time they would all be automated, napalm spitting haridens.

Amazed you didn't spell that as 'branes' to be honest.

Well blow me down, he may be smarter than he seems if he did!
brane /breɪn/ noun PHYSICS an extended object analogous to the strings of string theory but having any number of dimensions rather than one dimension.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Yeah, let's take the human out of humanitarian. We turn our faces ever further from the Ancient of Days.

Should be autonomous with manual authentication for anything important.

Indeed, as it should be, however you know there is a time when other militaries will defy that convention, Im not going to point at Russia and China, but well, yes I am.

Russia have actually refused to even discuss banning such systems at the UN let alone sign any treaties.

Part of my reasearch is pointing towards a trend away from what we immediately think about as big robots with anthropomorphic features, but more small scale things for reconnaissance, such as Riptide UUV and smaller hive stile robot clusters.

Robots will get the vote next. After a few years all humans will do is service fkn robots, aside from the few lucky boffins who dream 'em up. Sounds like a good thing to get into while the rest of us get shafted by Bumblebee from Transformers.

Which is all very sensible.
However my previous point stands - if you want something to navigate a human-centric environment such as a town or building then there will have to be some anthropomorphism as the environment is design for that shape of creature.
For reconnaissance, flying, submersibles etc there is obviously no pre-determined environmental factors so they can be any shape that works.
The design of these things is ultimately a function of the task to be performed and the environment it's going to be performed in.
