Essentially robots will become the front line and will front the attrition war. Once enemy robots tear through friendly robots they'll go after any other friendly units, including human ones.
Robots can't tell soldiers from civilians, so they'll act as area denial. You have five minutes to move a hundred meters back to a safe space after which robots will kill anything on this side of the red line. Lather, rinse, repeat until there's no safe space left.
Video of this would embarrass the international community, so for now we'll have to garrison civilian centers with human beings, which is still messy. When we have robots that can garrison, then all-robot armies will become viable.
