The most vulnerable jobs in regard to "losing them to robots" are the assembly-line jobs: Work that does not require much judgment. As a matter of fact most of the western workers are allready replaced by robots: The Asian workforce! The percentage of workers still involved in manufacturing in, for example, America is only about 10%. The shift of assembly-line labor to developing countries did not lead to mass unemployment.
Conclussion: if robot labor leads to mass unemployment it will be mass unemployment in Asia...
Introducing UBI because of mass unemployment caused by robots is just totally plucked out of thin air.
