For example some sort of Combat Engineer/Assault Breacher platoon per Bn? Or even Bde?
Sort of. They could be used to supplement tanks and regular infantry in a Fallujah style scenario I guess.
A limited number might be useful as an intimidation "don't mess with us" factor even in lower intensity situations.
But I can't see much more than that especially early on.
Cost, logistical issues and inherent trade offs will limit their use.
In the longer run robots will be preferable anyway.
