Caution, they are born warriors after all( ?)
IIRC, some college town pizza places have autonomous delivery bots. Fun dealing with snow-covered sidewalks!
Maybe they could handle a lot of retail manual labor?
Robot at my local grocery chain: machine equipped with vision, so that it can spot spills or products on the floor and report, so a worker can correct - slips and falls are a thing in supermarkets, liability, apparently.
I looked into it. They are nicknamed "Marty".
Can be upgraded to be semi-capable of checking inventory, but few stores adopted that extra package, and results aren't great.
I am fond of addressing the thing. " Marty.. you're such a snitch, get out of the way, dude, back to your charging pod...!"

The other farm cats didn’t super love him but the chickens thought he was alright so he became a chicken.
