Arguably would make it easier to avoid using deadly force. Armed robot vs. barricaded subject with a hostage, the robot could advance with no regard for its own safety and only use deadly force if the attacker goes after any hostages present.

I don't think there's any benefit in that scenario as a well armed, well trained, well equipped swat team would likely take zero damage if sent in in the same situation.
Hostages or no, the desired result is generally no human casualty, perp or otherwise.
