Assuming that by robot you mean a web spider AKA crawlers, the details of how it works are not going to be particularly useful to do search-engine optimization — it follows links, essentially, not much more that’s relevant to your purpose!
Of course you need to understand the de facto standards: writing robots.txt files to exclude crawlers from some pages, writing good sitemaps, how to increase your crawl rate, use webmaster tools, landing page optimization, and so on — all skills pretty different from understanding the inner workings of spiders.
