There is some reference to them as old losttech, Star League technology. Some of the old books have info on some old robits.
With the massive use of robits in factories in modern world, plus the rush to make... um, companion robits for intimate issues, I would think higher tech worlds would have someone researching them.

They already do. Read nigga, read!

No, I get that they exist in the setting, I meant should they exist in a larger role.
If I were suddenly in charge of the setting and was going around making the kind of changes a lot of fans want to be made and I said I was going to retcon humanoid robots into all the Successor State armies, would that be ridiculous to you?
For sake of specificity, we'll say they are of enough artificial intelligence to aim and shoot their guns and make limited decisions but are dumb enough to usually require a real human nearby to order them around, and that they roughly count as Infantry in-game making them mainly a fluff change.

Considering the fact battle armor and infantry is so damn expensive, and people use XL engines and how expensive they are, I wouldn't think it out of place to have some infantry which are robots armored to hell and back to make regular infantry and battle armor's nightmares come true. Robocop versus fleshies.
I want my own androids from the old Phantasy Star games.

The Star League was the only faction capable of the robotics work necessary. Everyone else basically makes simple guardian units that sucks, except for the Word, that made units that went apeshit over ECM.
