A drone is not defeated by digging a ditch around your perimeter.
If ground robots were viable, they'd already be ubiquitous in warfare. They're not because they require human support for basic terrain problems. This is an issue that drones do not suffer from. Drones are significantly harder to defend against and that's what makes them good.
If you make robots part of your strategy your enemy will just start digging ditches that the robot can't deal with.
I do think we're close to legged ground drones instead of wheels, which would be harder, but still possible to defense.
I'm gonna guess they can just jump ditches..?
It will be crazy when those robot dogs are finally used to kill people.
