While re-watching the episodes I think I figured out what the little robot roaches stand for. The show makes it a point to show us how the characters treat the roaches and it clearly has some story implications so here's my take. The robot roaches are a stand in for worker drones and how the characters treat them.
Doll is the first to be seen with the roaches having her whole house covered in them. We also see she doesn't really care for them both squishing one under foot and exploding one with her powers and licking off the oil off her face. Despite her whole revenge plot against V being because V killed her parents, Doll is pretty nonchalant about killing her fellow worker drones, sometimes for oil while other time just for being in her way.
N nearly steps on one before noticing and letting the little one live. at this point in the story N has sworn off killing worker drones, though this is relatively recent development in the story hence why he nearly squishes it.
V just sees the robot roach as a little snack and nonchalantly eats it, pretty much how she sees most workers, having no qualms with killing them and drinking there oil.
Uzi is interesting as she has 2 different reactions, sort of. In episode 3 she's similar to N she nearly steps on one, notices and makes sure not to crush it and the roach thanks her. In episode 4 how ever she throws her backpack trying to hide that arm from V and accidentally crushes a roach, after she notices what she did she brings it back to life. in this episode she does kill 5 of her class mates though it's clear that she didn't really mean to, it was absolute solver messing with her brain. As for the bringing back to life it might just reinforce it was an accident or will she bring a worker back to life, I guess will have to see.
Cyn or, Absolute Solver, which ever one you want to call them, they "stab" a roach that tries to drink from the oil/tea and Cyn tries to drink it, she's not very successful but she tries. Now for the second scene and where my eureka moment came from, her fusing a roach with a human doll, what does Absolute Solver say to Uzi in episode 2, "More like, you are our cute puppets." and here they are making a roach, a stand in for worker drones, into a puppet. It's also interesting that she fuses it with a human doll, because in the same episode J is shown to have a rib cage and human bits, it's clear that Absolute Solver can fuse drones with organic matter.
She kicks a roach though doesn't kill it, it fits her pretty well I think.
