I think it's true in a way. Most of the robotic research (at least in practical and engineering) are mainly used for defense and miltary purpose in America. When one thinks of "robots", I think of killing machines, terminator stuff, and robots who will take over the world.
On an ethical issue, we Americans like to boast so much of being the top in technology, yet do not possess much moral credbility within it. At least half of mathematician and engineers are employed doing miltary stuff (code breaking, defense weapons, AI for armies).
To me, great technology like robots is better for the benefit of mankind. That's what the US lack in terms of its robots...
