1. The storage place of the machines is outside the room.
2. The machines are trying to get into the room, or someone is trying to bring them in, but they are being prevented from entering.
In 2, the verb is "keep out", which is sort of an idiom.

Both are good. You should use "of" after "outside" in the first sentence.

Both sound natural and both are correct sentences.
However, they convey slightly different meanings to me. I don't know if others would agree.
'Kept outside' implies they are stored outside the room, but could be brought inside for a purpose. Then they would be brought back outside.
'Kept out' feels more permanent.

1では、動詞がkeep (保管する)で、前置詞outsideが付いているので、機械の置き場が話題です。
2では動詞がkeep out (入らないようにする) で前置詞がofです。話題は「室内は機械禁止」というルールがあるということか、もっとSFな感じで機械を撃退していることのどっちか。

Can you provide more information? Is there a situation you have in mind?
Your English is very good, so your questions sometimes can be more difficult to answer.
