[Lovecraft] Could humans use AI and robotic servants to fight Eldritch Abominations?

Is there any evidence that the maddening and insanity-inducing effect that Lovecraftian entities have on humans, would work on machines? If all of humanity united to stay in a bunker somewhere, not perceiving or facing Eldritch creatures directly, could they just send wave after wave of autonomous drones to harm the elder things that can be hurt by physical force?

Part of the problem with facing the eldritch horrors is that they don't follow the natural laws as we understand them.  They may exist is six or seven dimensions, be composed of non-elementary particles, exert forces beyond the four fundamental ones we have described, etc.

Our machines would suffer the same shortcomings in dealing with them as we do because we have modeled them on our senses.  Whatever methods they used to identify and lock on to targets would be subject to failure.  Their sensors would return gibberish data or be uninterpretable (which is similar to what happens to us when faced with the ineffable and unknowable).  Besides, how would we program them in the first place if we're unable to properly cope with contact ourselves?

The other problem is a question of scale.  Beings capable of traversing interstellar distances and slipping between dimensions are not going to be put off by a handful of monkey boys hiding under a few hundred feet of stone.  If, for some reason, our paltry efforts were even perceived and noted as being threatening, They would be able to deal with us in short order no matter where we were.
