Russia Is First Country To Use Armed Land Robot In Military Battle by YemiHadid(m): 9:05pm On May 04, 2018

Russia operatives used an armed robot in a gunfight that left 11 jihadists dead - as they try to stamp out extremism ahead of the World Cup.
Counter-terrorism forces engaged extremists in the volatile Islamic region of Dagestan over several days.
Dramatic footage shows police marksman firing on a house from an armored vehicle.
A compact armed robot is seen approaching the property to engage the jihadists.
The bullet-ridden bodies of six men were later shown in pictures released by investigative authorities.
Video and audio recordings taken by the robot reveal the voices of rebels shouting 'Allahu Akbar', followed by an explosion, it was reported.
The men were also believed to have been waving a jihadist flag.
Derbent, where the video was filmed, is just 590 miles southeast of Volgograd, where England will play their opening World Cup qualifying group game.
The FSB security service has indicated terrorism is the main threat to the World Cup.
'Guns, bullets, knives and grenades were discovered at the scene,' said a statement from the Russian Investigative Committee, which probes serious crime.
A hand made bomb, equal in power to five kilograms of TNT, was discovered before the house went up in flames.

Outside of war, these will probably be used by U.S. police to serve warrants. They already
used a kamikaze bomb robot to kill a shooter in Dallas .
Maybe they will eventually look like this...
And in related news, the Pentagon has self-driving abilities that is superior to what is available on the consumer market.
Quote:
Forget Uber, Waymo and Tesla: the next big name in self-driving vehicles could be the Pentagon.
“We’re going to have self-driving vehicles in theater for the Army before we’ll have self-driving cars on the streets,” Michael Griffin, the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, told lawmakers at a hearing on Capitol Hill this month. “But the core technologies will be the same.”
The stakes for the military are high. According to Griffin, 52 percent of casualties in combat zones can been attributed to military personnel delivering food, fuel and other logistics. Removing people from that equation with systems run on artificial intelligence could reduce injuries and deaths significantly, he added.

There are remote controlled fighting vehicles that some people choose to call "robots" . It depends on your understanding and the degree of autonomy deployed. As far as I am concerned, Russia is not ready to deploy autonomous Agents on the battle field yet.
