I think it is very important to be polite. I have been in NYC for almost 4 years, and most people here act like robots. I do miss the Midwest and south where people are more polite and courteous.

If you are talking about the automated phone systems that everybody has now, I say just hang up. I personally do not know any robots, but I guess you should be nice to them. You never know when you might need a friend.

Polite no, the robot won't even notice. And, seriously, imagine yourself saying please and thank you to a coffee machine?
Respectful: yes. If you treat things with respect, you will feel better about yourself, you set a great exemple and there will be a better atmosphere... Respecting things shows a great deal of self-respect too.
In return, if you treat a robot with respect, if you maintain it etc, it won't break down as fast and do a better job.

The robot probably wouldn't care, but you would feel better about yourself if you were.

robots cant be offended at your rudeness, so it does not matter if you do.
now, always be polite to people.
