I'm not clear on what robots can and cannot do in LeGuin. It looks they can be miners and farmers, but not technicians or enforcers. Is there an explanation anywhere of what robots can do what?
What jobs can robots do in LeGuin?

Yeah I was thinking the same, I think it is just farmers and miners for robots, if you don’t have jobs free there they are unemployed. But keep getting built.
Not that I know of. The description for robots in the technology card says they are fit for basic jobs like mining or farming. The phrasing to me implies that there might be more jobs than that, but I haven't seen them. They can't be technicians. If I had to guess they can do more special jobs too like crystal mining? Haven't gotten there yet to test.
I’m pretty sure it’s similar to pre 2.2. Robots can do farming and mining well but not more advanced jobs. In 2.1 if you put a robot on a generator or unity building it would be a lot worse. Now they just can’t take them. Droids should be better and synths should do everything, I’ve not got that far in the game yet.
So I am assuming that the unemployment effects are reduced for robots? Compared to biological beings
Eventually they can do all jobs, as long as you have the technology and give them the rights. Initially I believe they can only be farmers and miners. Still I believe they are very good early on, provided you have the minerals for the roboticists.
Basically robots can do farming and mining. Droids can do ALL other worker jobs as well (clerks, technicians...). Synths can do all worker and specialists jobs from the bat, and ruler jobs once you research the techs.
My robots (not synths), also work as technicians, clerks, medics and law enforcement. Though not from the bat. It took a few techs, but I never unlocked synths.
It's a bit troublesome since pops don't change name based on relevant techs. So, they're just called robots all the time.
The same system is in place like in previous patches robots-> droids -> synths (but they're still all called robots), and jobs they can do at those stages is what I wrote in previous post.
