I think that it's not really "robots" (it's click-bait) but rather greater automation of new platforms and ships, e.g. more networked sensors instead of analog gauges, servo-controlled valves etc. Also possibly robotic drill pipe handling (i.e. a purpose-built mechanism http://www.drillingcontractor.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/web_Manipulator-Arm.jpg http://www.drillingcontractor.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09... ) Maybe an underwater drone or two for inspection instead of using divers.
