Civilians have been killed in war since the beginning of war. With robots, the numbers could climb quickly. It's hard enough for military personnel to tell enemy from civilian, so what can we expect from a robot? How could you program it to tell the difference? Actually, many civilians actually are the enemy. There is no solution to this.
Yup, the only solution is a total end to armed conflict and this isn't going to happen any time soon with Homo sapiens! We're a violent species.
