I think most of this is choreographed. Autonomous killing machines are probably a few weeks away

I'd think autonomous killing machines wouldn't have a humanoid shape, as it would be optimized for efficient lethality and not things like grasping external tools and all-terrain movement that is calorically efficient and biomechanically sustainable.

This concept short film came out in 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-2tpwW0kmU

I can see them having to fill multipurpose roles. Patrolling Guard, escort, checkpoint guards, tunnel rat, climb, then the straight out killing machine. No different than the combat teams we have today. APC, tank, specialty teams (motor),

If it came to fighting them humans would resort to tactics to defeat them or take away their advantage. Tunnels and ladders would be simplest examples.
