Hi friend, Now that you know what is robots.txt file I am going to tell you what the robots are.

Robots are small programs to do some automatic work (Like the real robots or smart electronic toys). In search engine optimization robots are used to gather data/information from various data stores (websites etc.)
Google and other search engines use the robots (also known as spiders or bots) to gather all the information on the website (all the web pages and other stuff like pdf files).
When the bots come to any domain(website) they look for the instructions for them. We can feed them the instructions with the help of the robots.txt file. We can tell them what resources (pages/files) to cache (to copy the pages and files from your site and store them in their own servers to show them to the searchers searching for the similar information) and what we want to hide from direct search engine traffic.
Tell me if you are asking for this or something else. I will be happy to help you. Thanks.

• A file that tells search engines what your website s rules of engagement are is a robot.txt file, meaning a robots.txt file contains directives for search engines.
• A big part of doing SEO is sending the right signals to search engines, and the robots.txt is one of the ways to communicate the crawling preferences to search engines i.e., It prevents search engines from crawling specific parts of your website and give helpful suggestions to the search engines on how they can best crawl your website.
• A robot.txt file should look something like this: www.example.com/robots.txt
• You should avoid using the crawl-delay directive for search engines.
