There haven't been any specific space probes sent to Neptune for a Neptunian mission, like Cassini for Saturn and Galileo for Jupiter. However, the Voyager 2 space probe passed by Neptune in 1989 on its way out of the solar system and sent back pictures and information showing it to be an odd planet indeed.

The Voyager Interstellar Mission, controlled by the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, CA, is still in contact with both Voyager spacecraft via the Deep Space Network, a huge array of globally interlinked radio telescopes that use their combined capability to communicate with them.

Voyager 1 and 2 were originally programmed to visit Saturn and Jupiter, but Voyager 2's trajectory was altered to visit Neptune and Uranus also, and remains the only spacecraft to have visited either planet. (Voyager 1 was flown past Saturn's moon Titan instead.)

How many satellites went to Uranus and what year?

As of now, no spacecraft or satellites have been sent to Uranus. However, there have been missions that have conducted flybys of Uranus, such as Voyager 2 which passed by the planet in 1986, providing valuable data and images. There is a proposed mission called Uranus Pathfinder that aims to send a dedicated orbiter to Uranus in the future, but no specific year has been set yet.

Did Uranus have any satellites or robots explore it up close?

Yes, the Voyager 2 spacecraft made the only close flyby of Uranus in 1986. It discovered 10 new moons and provided the most detailed images to date of the planet and its atmosphere. No robotic landers or rovers have been sent to Uranus so far.

Have they send robots on Uranus?

As of now, there have been no robotic missions sent to Uranus. All exploration of Uranus has been undertaken by remote observation from telescopes and spacecraft, such as the Voyager 2 probe that flew by Uranus in 1986. There may be future missions planned to explore Uranus with robotic spacecraft.
