Agricultural management that is, torching ant hives and wasp nests, are the most common civilian purpose for flamethrowers. And given I'm allergic to some kinds of stings, I'd be glad for a robot dog to manage my wasps for me.
But I don't have a farm, nor $10K to spend on a dogbot.
We can hope that someone with an entreprenurial spirit will start up a business renting flamethrower robo-dogs for people who only need them sporadically.
