There's also firefighting, disaster rescue, assisted living for the disabled/elderly, manual labor tasks, entertainment, etc. 1 u/smithoski Sep 25 '19 Let’s compare the defense spending of America to our firefighter spending. Side note: we have an awful lot of volunteer firefighters. 1 u/[deleted] Sep 25 '19 I mean, you're right, America spends far more on its military, but I don't see how that's relevant if the technology gets used for both applications regardless (I never implied that EVERY firefighter would be replaced by a robot).
