Here are my two cents on this subject:

Robots don't really have a gender since they are mechanical beings that are made. They however, can adapt the usage of pronouns if they are portrayed as single-entity characters. In the case of Mettaton, who is a "ghost that seema to have a SOUL in a robot body", he is referred to as a "he" despite his robot appearance looking a little bit feminine. If you ask me, Mettaton, as a ghost, was likely a "he" as well. Because if Mettaton's ghost was a "she", it would probably make more sense to refer to Mettaton as a "she" in his robot form.
