what the heck is a robo hamster? a robot hamster maybe? if so, then i don't see why that would complicate her pregnancy.
if it's a live animal...
hamsters are fine, i raised Teddy Bear Hamsters for several years and had them while i was pregnant with my first child. i did not handle them while pregnant though, and used latex clothes when cleaning out their bedding.

I'm not sure hamsters have the same litter problems as cats for pregnant women, but, just to be nice to your wife, I'm going to say "Get her her hamster, but you have to clean his cage."
Hold on -- I may actually be right.
"Should pregnant women be concerned about owning a hamster or other rodent?
Although the risk of LCMV infection from pet rodents is generally low. However, pregnant women should be aware of the risks associated with acquiring LCMV infection during pregnancy. Some of the following precautions can be taken to reduce even further the risk of acquiring LCMV infection during pregnancy:
Pregnant women should avoid contact with wild rodents. If you have a household rodent infestation, it should be addressed promptly by a professional pest control company or another member of the household.
Keep your pet rodent in a separate part of the home and ask another family member or friend to clean the cage and care for the pet. Avoid prolonged stays in the room where the rodent resides."

I don't know what a robo hamster is but if it is just a hamster with a fancy name that is not a problem. It is safe.

uh... if this is a question about "toys" then no, "toys" are not suposed to be used during pregnancy, they can lead to infection.
