    Ideally, yes, but there might be some limitations that you should consider. When it comes to movements of machines, it is important to underline that the performed movements can happen at high speeds, with a frequency spectrum that can easily hit even tenths of kHz. LSMDSOX has been developed to sustain consumer applications, developed mainly on human movements (which are substantially slower than machine movements). So, to try to summarize, LSM6DSOX can also detect machine/robot the movements if the movement frequency contribution lies in its frequency detection range, specified on datasheet. In case you are interested in a sensor for industrial applications enhanced by MLC, you can check ISM330DHCX.
