It wasn't autonomous, but Dallas police killed a sniper with a robot placing c4 explosives on the back of a wall he was leaning on. https://www.cnn.com/2016/07/12/us/dallas-police-robot-c4-exp...

Geesh, I'm glad they're not using emotional language there.

Recoil on a bot is bad. Guessing they start making structural explosives.

I find it funny in not using emotional languages for war, but using emotional languages for crime, so you can "think about the children" (tm). Tells you a lot about power structures.
