'der Roboter' and 'der Robot' can both mean a programmed machine that carries out tasks automatically. In everyday language, 'Roboter' is the much more common word, especially when you are thinking of a real machine, for example in a factory or at home. 'Robot' can also be used this way, but it sounds more technical or less everyday. In addition, 'Robot' can also mean a computer program on the internet, similar to 'Bot'. Learners may confuse the words because they look almost the same. A simple rule: for a physical machine, 'Roboter' is usually more natural; in technical internet-related contexts, 'Robot' may occur.
