Even more than that, if the ship is designed from the beginning as a computer-controlled ship, who says it even has corridors or any other spaces for humans to enter?
Even a fully-automated ship is going to have maintenance accessways. If the ship is built and maintained entirely by robots, the robots will still tend to be as large or larger than the designing species for efficiency reasons.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
