I have found my solution in this issue: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/1942

robots.txt is in src/ directory
Modify angular-cli.json

"apps": [
{
  "root": "src",
  "outDir": "dist",
  "assets": ["assets", "robots.txt"],
 ....

Use the assets array to declare files you want to be placed in the root of dist/
