Great thing about robotics is that you build the robot to fill a role most efficiently. While humanoid robots are neat in the common imagination they are fairly impractical. A ground based combat robot would probably be some kind of high terrain mobility, low profile, autonomous/semi-autonomous drone with good image recogoniction, deployed in groups with weapon systems appropriate for handling different situations.
IE its probably more cost efficient to have a gun and a camera on top of some treads in a little metal dome than to have an upright robot that can do backflips or whatever
