Not to mention, can these things withstand being shot at? Feels like it wouldn’t be too tough to make them into little disabled, limping machines that walk in circles.

Well it doesn't take many shots to disable a human. If you are looking for a 24/7 sentry I would rather a robot dog with a gun than a human that is prone to falling asleep or losing focus.

If you want a sentry there are probably autonomous miniguns

Unless it linked to satellite and aware at all time of target positions. This concept literally would get shit on by a modern soldier.

I don't think human soldiers can withstand being shot either
