Very good question. Here is one answer for now. I can think of other things, but it is quite hard to explain all at once.

There are "radio-resistant" microbes and elements that can be bio-engineered, or possibly turned into some radio-resistant alloy, that could reduce the rate of oxidation by neutralizing radioactive elements. Yes, normally the robots would cease working properly after being exposed to high levels of radiation. I forgot to include the information about how to make the robots radio-resistant. Bio-engineering really isn't my favorite idea, but it is a potential solution to this. I don't think there is any better purpose for genetic modification or engineering. It is just about the most positive thing to working with bio-technology that I can think of. Bio-technology has potential to be used for good, although the ethics of such a subject are quite questionable and for a separate discussion..
With radioactive decay, there are ways to "speed up" the radioactive half-life as well. There is a way to make the robot itself emanate frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum to speed up the rate of decay. It would basically just buy more time. And with enough time, a lot can be accomplished. The idea is that it would be a constant, on-going thing. And, the idea of having robots designed just to repair the ones that are being damaged as well, so that the longevity of the working robot is extended as far as possible.
These are all just concepts, but I am sure there is an application for the concepts if carefully thought out. It is quite a dangerous ordeal working with radioactivity in any form, so it is an area where it is very desirable to utilize technology and reduce risk of damage to health for humans.

(Radioresistant and Dessication Resistant Organisms: Their Habitat, Mechanism of Adaptations and Biotechnological Application) ("DNA REPAIR")
I studied this in my free time back in 2013, and I have been fascinated ever since.
There are also other methods of dealing with radioactive elements that involve using certain plants or filtering techniques. I will need to explain that later I guess.
