I concur with JPB, the figure eight knot is very good at creating a large stop knot (I rock climb), and stays together well. They look similar to the Stevedore Knot, but I'm not sure how much larger the figure-eight knot is compared to it. Guess that's a good place to start.
EDIT: OH! You were talking about knots for the robot to interface with. Our team is using a double overhand for it fits in our hook system.
