I can't sell them on the slave market, and I can't upgrade them like my own robots. I can't even purge them. They're just dead weight. Any ideas on how to get rid of them, other than settle them on a distant planet and releasing it as a vassal?

Report it as a bug, first of all. Robots you conquered are supposed to be indistinguishable from the ones you built (aside from portrait).
Except, they aren't. They are a category of their own, and I can't apply my other robots' template to them. Are you sure it's a bug? Are your conquered robots indistinguishable from your own ones? Are you playing 2.2 or an earlier version?

I haven't played a robots focused game in 2.2 yet. Been enjoying Barbaric Despoilers too much.

But in 2.1 conquering robots just made them your robots and they got auto-upgraded to whatever tech you have. Unless they're gestalt robots, in which case they get purged.

Take them on Antiques Roadshow, they might be worth something !

Or you might have to insure them separately . . .
