There is an ever growing movement to allow writers more freedom in their art. A few decades ago italics were only allow in references and in emphasizing certain passages for heightened notice. A few years ago it was allowed to show 'inner dialogue'. But the restrictions are constantly being challenged. As the writer you have a certain amount of liberty to make your own rules and I think that using italics to signify a robot talking would be perfectly alright, as long as you adhere to your own rules concerning the convention. With great power comes great responsibility and if you are going to be making the rules yourself you are going to have to be sure you follow them.
