Yes, I could absolutely see androids populating areas of the planet that were inhospitable to humans. That's a very good point. I think it's important to differentiate between robots and sentient beings, though. Even after the singularity, I think we will have robots to do manual tasks that will not be sentient, and will therefore be owned as machines. There's no reason to have a sentient android mining coal or sweeping the streets.
