It's nicely done except for the lighting.
Your shading is symmetrical (except the shine on the eyes), which makes it seem as though the light source is somewhere in the center.
Most pixel art has a defined light source in the top left or top right corners.
It's fine if you want a light source in the middle, but I doubt it's in the middle of the robot's face (which is how it appears now - notice how every edge of the face is bright, then fades outward?).
