As someone who read "Dune" several decades ago and doesn't remember much, this is very interesting and almost makes me want to read it again (though I'm afraid of yet another time sink – I'm now after 2 volumes of "The Stormlight Archive"...).

But _my_ inner geek must nitpick here and mention that the Daleks are not robots, but living creatures in metal cases. Though they do have some kind of computer-augmented memory IIRC.
