Roughly speaking, yes. More often a tool than a doll, though some robots are purely toys. Does Equestria use magic to make machines that perform very repetitive tasks on their own, or that can be controlled remotely to perform tasks in areas that are dangerous or otherwise inaccessible to ponies? Those would probably be considered robots by Earth terms.
The most interesting robots, though, are the fictional, fully sapient ones. They're usually portrayed as being very logical and emotionless, which is why you can use "robotic" to describe somebody (such as me) who has a generally analytical viewpoint and who doesn't tend to show much emotion.
