We're probably 10 years from them being soldiers for basic tasks, and probably 20 years from robocop, I'd guess. But they will have weaknesses. It's impossible to make a robot completely failproof (or any system for that matter)

You're a damn fool if you think that. Do you think they're posting the newest tech on jewtube?

Do you think the military uses their newest tech in the field? No

Yes. New tech is tested in the field but not openly and consistently. This subject is huge, though. It's going to be a massive step when the first group of robots are publicly deployed for autonomous "service".

Yes it will be. I think they will first be deployed as bomb-sniffing bots and things like that. It will be a long time before there are robot police that do human-robot interactions, that's an entirely different level of difficulty.
