It's wonky.
You have to set your empire policy to Population Controls (goodbye Egalitarian faction happiness) and then you can click on the Assembly portrait on the population screen of each colony and choose a template.
Note that doing so may slow down growth as it warns you there is a penalty for selecting away from "Any", but I haven't bothered timing it to see if that only applies to organic choices.

Wow, really? Has that been reported as a bug or do they really intend this?
But yeah, the only way I found to change what is produced is to mod the whole robot population of the planet to what you want produced...
There is no penalty (for robots or droids at least) outside of a one time 50% decrease of the progress of the current pop when choosing a new template to build.
This is very unintuitive. I hope they change that. I tried clicking as crazy on the robot portrait and nothing changes. Couldn't stop robot production, nor change the template.
Robots and droids shouldn't be affected by population control policy imo. Also a way to retrofit specific job types or strata wouldn't go amiss.
On top of this it would be nice if pops would be swapped more quickly for jobs they are better suited too.

The only way I found to stop production was to remove the worker. The portrait only allows the selection of "Any" or a specific template.
I think this should be a bug. I have filed a bug report but cannot get any response. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...p-requires-population-control-policy.1134801/
They could at least write a response if they had other priorities. Since they did not write anything, I fear that they think it is working as intended - the space-egalitarists of the future will think that choosing what type of non-sapient robot to build violates robot's rights...
They have better things to be doing honestly- thats completely unsubstantiated. Shame on you.
No, there is no shame on a person that points at the broken aspect of the game and asks for fixing it - even if you think that there are another broken aspects of the game.
Deal with it.
