Before, when things to too far, even the soldiers would revolt.

Cool
Not sure what you’re saying here.
Are robotics good enough right now to suppress a population? No, clearly not.
Will they be good enough in 10 years? Quite possibly.
Humanoid bipedal are sketch, but 50Cal robot dog tanks wouldn't break a sweat.
I fear we're closer to tanks from Ghost in the Shell than we want to be, they just won't be as cheery and reasonable
I'm just having some fun.
