    I agree. I like your idea of a 'Robot Tax'. Some way to generate some money to fund the UBI.
    One of the Presidential candidates suggested a 'tax' on the 'machine trading' (algo-trading that occurs hundreds of times a second) on Wall street.
    That and your idea sound similar.

    "Algorithmic trading
    Algorithmic trading is a method of executing orders using automated pre-programmed trading instructions accounting for variables such as time, price, and volume. This type of trading was developed to make use of the speed and data processing advantages that computers have over human traders.Wikipedia"

    Taxing algo-trading is very sensible.
