Yes. As stated somewhere in this thread way back, robots are extremely usefull at the beginning of the game. They are extremely sturdy and less prone to have fatal wounds. More importantly, they are also very likely to survive a walking bomb explosion from point zero, which make them extremely usefull to save the hide of the other human members around.
Usually I always take 3 squads of 4 in a mission. On each squad I always try to keep one robot for a minimum.
When you then manage to keep casualties low, robots slowly become obsolete because a human develop way further than any robots are built to be.
