Roboticists are sort of a grey area. They're a bit of medical (borging people, new limbs) and a bit of engineering (building robots) with just a hint of research (smashing together different parts to get the most awesomest robot). Honestly, where they are right now is fine: Secluded enough that they won't be bothered too horribly much, but close enough to the action that they can properly react in the event of a crisis.
Also, to elaborate: Geneticists neglecting corpses is just one of two big problems, and the other one is the aforementioned workspace issue. Science-types are notoriously touchy when it comes to their workspaces...and, hell, even I'm guilty of this to a degree. Having something like the cloning pod, which is used by just about everyone and is a frequented part of the station by many, does not exactly encourage stellar relations with the Geneticists, who will probably get really worried that you're going to start stabbing one of the monkeys or mash buttons on their consoles or whatever. It's a similar sensation to having a random staff assistant running around chemistry or somewhere: Regardless of the actual intentions of the newcomer, the local residents are going to get really leery because of the capacity for things getting fucked with.
