I personally believe we need both humans and robots for studying and studying in space. In some cases of course, humans are unneeded and any robots can be used as a proxy so to speak for humans, but you have to keep in mind there is no computer (or at least not one we can send into space) that rivals anyone's ingenuity or curiosity, which is exactly what is need for many studies.
