Even if it doesn't, sounds like something that could easily be used for propaganda purposes by our enemies.
I am kind of intrigued by the fact that the robot is steam powered though.

Yeah, that's kind of the interesting bugaboo there. Do the Geneva Conventions dictate treatment of dead bodies? If so, they could get around that by chipping dog tags with RFID so the robots could simply focus on 'friendly' dead bodies.
But imagine the uproar THAT would cause when Mom and Pop in Oklahoma don't get their son or daughter's body for a funeral. Oops.
