the scientists build the robots. Society and its corruption will determine how they get used. I don't think it's a reason to not build robots or to say they're not worth making. At some point in the future, society may collectively improve and the robots will be there to use.

Not all technology is inherently neutral, and scientists know this. Scientists also typically know whos funding them. You think anyone at BD was surprised to see their work on a robot dog end up by the sides of police to be deployed at protests?
