The big advantage of the robot over human pals is that you can send items directly to your ship. In coop you need to carry it. The biggest downside is that it uses soooo much ammo when acting as a ship gunner. I'm flying the small ship and put on the lance railgun. The long reload time ensures that the bot can't waste all my ammo.

I’ve done a few solo+robo runs with the small ship and it’s a great time. It’s a bit less chaotic because there are some ship effects (like fires and radiation leaks) that don’t get enabled until you have at least 3 players. I’m excited to see how the game develops over the next few months.
