I hope these stick around, but considering the enormous number of cast members needed to operate them and corral guests, their obvious complexity, and Disney's history of testing new technologies and then never following up, I have extremely low expectations. I hope I'm proven wrong, however. Galaxy's Edge desperately needs more walk-around characters.

From my understanding these are semi autonomous bots that use AI. Right now they have a handling team to monitor and help them learn the layout and what things are but eventually they'll be able to do their own thing, and just have a cast member hang out with them to keep them safe. With no puppeteers involved it'll be pretty staff efficient.

"enormous number of cast members needed to operate them and corral guests" Enormous? Looked like one operator per droid and one Cast Member asking guests to make room.

Maybe there were insurmountable technological issues we didn't know about, or the cost to operate was not worth the expenditure, or who knows what.
