Who would repair the automated systems? Repair robots would also need to be repaired, at times.

People would likely be cheaper.

Edit: there is also the question of speed. Sending a message to mars at lightspeed takes about 8 minutes. That's 8 minutes of sending a "error" message, plus another 8 of sending a "reset" back, in the simplest of cases, meaning 16 minutes of lost revenue. On-site personnel is a quicker response.
