I uploaded APK on Test Lab and the JSON script (generated with Robo Script Recorder inside Android Studio), yet the Robo test works randomly like Robo script has no effect at all. Please guide me if i am skipping something important. There isn't much community support out there yet, as Robo Script was just introduced in december,2017. I have done several iterations. Here is the JSON script generated by Robo Script Recorder.
Please guide me if you had any successful experience with Robo Script

Your Robo script and the way you uploaded it to Test Lab look OK. Robo performs actions from the script until the first one that fails, at which point it resumes a regular crawl. To see how many actions from Robo script were performed successfully, you can search for "Robo script" string in the logcat file produced by the crawl. Alternatively, you can wait a few days and re-run your Robo test - at that point, the Robo script status should show up directly in the crawl video.
Another sanity check is to record the same actions as you did for the Robo script but using Run -> Record Espresso Test and see if the generated test passes locally.
