Stairs are Older Than Dirt, as evidence of stairs has been found in archeological sites from 2500 BC. Stairs tend to be suited uniquely to a creature with multipedal locomotion using legs of roughly human length. Creatures with differing forms of locomotion sometimes have... trouble with them. Hence this trope.
For some reason, this is often the case with hostile robots, but it's not required to be either hostile or a robot to count as this trope, just a creature or device that logically will often be called upon to deal with stairs, yet has a great deal of trouble navigating them.
Bonus points if the creature attempts to navigate the stairs anyway, resulting in a Staircase Tumble. Extra bonus points if it's actually destroyed in the resulting fall, or disabled so thoroughly that The Hero can dispatch it at his leisure.
A subtrope of Weaksauce Weakness.

The ED-209 in RoboCop, ostensibly built for urban law enforcement, was designed without the ability to navigate a simple staircase. Justified in-story, as it was intentionally written as a poorly-conceived design in several ways (spotty AI, major weak points, seriously overarmed), which is why the project was abandoned in favor of the titular character.

In The Simpsons episode "Grift of the Magi", Bart injures himself and is forced to use a wheelchair. He finds it difficult to enter the school due to the stairs, and Principal Skinner explains the school can't afford a ramp system. Enter Fat Tony of the Springfield Mafia, who offers to build one with his construction outfit, "Valdezzo Bros. Olive Oil". By the time an inauguration ceremony is held for the needlessly complex ramp system, Bart's suddenly healed enough to have no more use of the wheelchair, rendering the whole effort a waste. Skinner pats a ramp in confidence that at least they're ready for "the new millennium", only for the whole ramp system to collapse. It turns out it was built out of breadsticks, paint, and shellac. The mob has conned the school out of $200,000, resulting in its closure.

The Golem King in Feet of Clay. Golems are invulnerable unstoppable robotic killing machines created by an alchemical marriage of magic and pottery. There is just one drawback: they are far too heavy for a normal set of stairs to take without collapsing.

The Star Wars examples under Film above actually get carried over into the LEGO Star Wars games where protocol droid characters like C3PO can't jump or navigate stairs. Many levels have sections that require the player to go through an elaborate puzzle-solving process in order to move the droids across the area that the human characters can easily jump or climb a staircase to access.

In With Pearl and Ruby Glowing, Nick Wilde and Mako are called to deal with Kristoff stealing Sven the reindeer from a petting zoo while drunk and hiding him in his apartment. Nick points out that the building's stairs are too steep to get him out since hoofed mammals have a hard time with that. Sven won't fit in the elevator either, so a crane was needed to get him out.

In the fandom for Warhammer 40,000, it's commonly joked that the 7 to 10-foot tall Super-Soldier Space Marines cannot use stairs because their enormous Powered Armor boots can't physically fit on stairs built for humans. Official art depicting the Space Marines gets around the issue by giving all Imperial buildings ridiculously huge architecture with stairs two meters long per step. Tactical Dreadnought marines get around the issue by just teleporting up or down.

Doctor Who:
A Running Gag about the Daleks is their inability to climb stairs. Canonically Daleks could handle stairs (they are shown upstairs from where their time machine arrived in their third story), but they didn't have the budget to ''show'' it until more than 20 years in. Fans have joked for decades that "Daleks don't climb stairs. They level the building."
Third Doctor actor Jon Pertwee often talked about how children would give him earnest advice about how to get away from Daleks, which was to skip up a flight of stairs.
Subverted, however, in "Remembrance of the Daleks". The first episode cliffhanger has the Seventh Doctor fleeing up the stairs and thinking he was safe from the Dalek chasing him, only for it to start levitating up the stairs after him.
In "The Stones of Blood", the Doctor has K9 stay behind while he goes to investigate de Vries' manor, citing the possibility that the building "might have stairs in there."
Invoked and subverted in "Dalek", where Rose and her companions attempt to escape the pursuing Dalek by scaling a flight of stairs, thinking it won't be able to follow them. This naturally prompts Adam to mock it as a "great big alien death machine, defeated by a flight of stairs!". The characters attempt to exploit this stalemate to try and negotiate with the Dalek, but it ignores the Red Shirt's pleas to desist and just says "EL-E-VATE!" before levitating up the stairs after them. This was put in after writer Robert Shearman asked his girlfriend why she thought the Daleks made rather pathetic villains in the original show, and she told him how easy they were to foil.
This was later lampooned on QI

The B-plot of one episode of Hill Street Blues revolves around Officers Bates, Coffee, Hill and Renko becoming probably the first not-Chicago-we-swear cops in living memory to arrest a genuine cattle rustler after finding a very large steer in a fourth-floor apartment, and then having to figure out how to get the damn thing back to ground level so they can return it to its rightful owners. The police department eventually have to hire a crane.
