Orbitron claims to be mostly autonomous. I believe the driver still influences overall strategy but for the most part it handles second to second combat by itself. It hasn't had much success, but shows autonomy is an area teams are exploring.
Battlebots Org themselves are also looking into other rulesets for humanoid bots and autonomous combat. It's probably just a matter of time, but under current rules the autonomous bots will have to fight better than human operated first.
