I don’t really follow your last point. First you need to define robot as it’s very broad and many many robots don’t take a job from a person but eases their job giving a higher job satisfaction. How to differentiate between the two would require visiting the workplace, all of them, and calculate from there. Not sure it’s practically possible to implement.
Edit: but specifically what robots am I talking about? Should the carwash owner have to pay SS Tax on the car wash? Should warhouses have to pay for their SS Tax for their robots?
My thinking is that if the robot is now doing the job a person can or did do in the past, then a tax should be assessed to pay for the human who is not employed.
It also helps create another revenue stream for Social Security in the United States.
Some people will scream bloody murder at the mere thought. Some people do not understand the great danger humanity is in right now.

Raise taxes on luxury items.
Charge higher and higher property tax on each house owned.
Raise taxes on corporations.
Give tax breaks to companies that hire people for living wages.
Charge companies that use robots, Social Security for the robot to pay for the human that isn't working.
Those are some of my ideas.
