They have the tech for flying drones and so they are used in a huge amount of roles since they are so practical and small. But when heavier lifting is involved, or robust construction, then ground drones or various shapes exist (humanoids, quads like the one you linked, etc). There's also some overlap between drones and mecha since the mechs designed to house a person inside (Well, Avali) can operate independently of a pilot, the operator could be OUTSIDE the mech, and it's taking instructions remotely like the drones (Defend here, attack this, grab this etc).
One of the codices I meant to finish up was a report by a hostile force who downed and captured a mech, only to be left scratching their head when they can't find the pilot
