Until now revolution have pitched humans against other humans. And in most successful revolution, at one point, the police/army refuses to shoot on the protestors anymore. (or oust themselves the current head of state)

I don't necessary have a really bleak view of the future, but I wonder what would a revolution would looked like with a robotized police. You could hope that at one point someone on the loyalist side would press the robot kill switch.

But taking today's world as an example, I wonder what would Assad or Gaddafi would have done with an army of robots.

My point was not really that the revolution actually has to happen. Political pressure will build up long before and things will get sorted out peacefully.
