The possible ethical, legal and psychological repercussions are unknown to us at this point. Except for military robots because everyone knows what they will be doing, thanks to Hollywood (although I personally think we would have been better off without that base understanding). Until people know what they are to do with robotics systems no one will want to put their toes in the water.
