Actually its pretty easy. We can't be robots in heaven because if that is how things are then it means the devil never would have fallen since he should have been a robot and unable to do anything bad.
Now I do realize that by saying we won't have, lets say the ability to swear, it means "freedom" is being taken away. But is that really freedom? Thats what we call it on earth. But earth is not heaven, at least as it was meant to be.
Swearing never existed, inappropriate content never existed, greed never existed before earth (per say). So we aren't losing anything really, just evil sinful things that came into being because the devil got Eve to bite the apple. I don't really see it as being a robot or having less freedom. I'm still free to make choices in heaven. I just won't have to worry about making bad choices because its a different place.
Or we can think of it like earth and lets say Mars. We know everything about how earth works, how gravity works, how weather works...etc. And we also know (to some degree) how that stuff on Mars works. So if we went to Mars would we say its not right how it works there because it worked differently on earth? What about after civilization has been there thousands of years and has developed maybe entirely different rules and views.
Of course we can't say "It wasn't like that on earth!" because they are two different places.
In the end I don't worry about what might or might not be anymore in heaven. The bible gives me enough info that I realize I will have my memories from earth, I will know people (though they will be in perfect bodies), I will have my ability to think for myself...etc. So I just see it as what earth would have been. Though technically speaking when God recreates earth it will be how things should have been.... like an earth 2.0. Side note, the mars thing I know is crazy of course since He will return WAYYYYYYYYY before we even get there anyways.
