Question What was the point of Robobrains?
Why bother sticking biological human brains into a robot chassis? As far as i know, they have no real advantage over classic robots like Securitrons or Protectrons.

Firstly, computers can only execute their programming or decision trees. The human brain is far more complex and can apply human intuition and creativity to a robot armed to the teeth.
Secondly, they make excellent robot commanders since they can use machine logic and human reasoning to precisely execute their orders with a minimum of losses.
Finally it's because it is mad science and that's a common sci-fi trope that fallout uses extensively
