Humans are, in general, absurdly robust. You can absolutely mess them up, and they will keep chugging along for a while before breaking down. Not to mention their almost frightening ability to make a full recovery from horrendous injuries.
Most robots/machines will be more or less completely disabled by a faulty connection, clogged valve, or torn hydraulic line. Sure, you can shield them more, but for stuff like radiation, dust, and harsh environments that cause gradual degradation, you’re going to have a very hard time beating the resilience of humans.
Bleep Bloop… it is clearly advantageous that we use humans to operate in harsh environments rather that robots… Bleep Ding.
Which is why its imperative that little Timmy is sent to the mines despite all the risks and occupational health hazard that will eventually kill them.

Robots were sent into the Chernobyl reactor and they stopped working immadiately. Gamma radiation fries circuits.
in the end, they sacrificed soldiers above dumping sacks of cement, and miners below laying a foundation to stop the core melting into the earth.
And don’t forget cheaper!
