Cap, rotor, wires and plugs, and if they've never been changed, probably the Oxygen sensors as well.

Check the EGR valve, make sure it's opening properly and hasn't caked over with deposits. Get a new gasket before you remove the EGR valve.

A PCV valve would probably be a good idea.

Of course, make sure all of the filters are in okay.

Do military robots have sensors?

Yes, of course. Sensors are necessary to check own status and/or of any object (like human target). Without sensors any robot is not able to search, find, indentify or even to move in difficult area. Sensors are important to receive feedback for the human, who is steering a robot. If robot is at automatic drive (no human is steering - only on software running) sensors are also very important to the robot to get any information about the outside, the surrounding of it.
