I work with robotic mechanisms for industry. Just about all the control is via computers. I don’t see how a robot can work without a computer! Most of the work, as a matter of fact, is programming the controllers and transducers that make the robot go. That’s mostly software.

Yes, it will certainly help but robotics is also about mechanical engineering, hydraulics, and electronics. Robotics has become a specialized course of study in itself since these different fields have to all be closely integrated. NASA is probably the best place for general information – see link below.
