The inverse square law is not your friend with EMPs. One of these robots armed with a Browning machine gun can attack you from a mile away. To fry the robot’s electronics with an EMP at that distance you’d basically need to use a nuke.
To replace delivery vehicles, not soldiers. Fewer soldiers will do delivery, and more will do combat. The demand for front line soldiers is only growing.

Everyone don't bother doing anything. They apparently already killed me.

The problem is that it takes 2 people to pilot them.
