Basic income is a start. Then they figure out what to spend it on. Ideally PhDs. Of which you use that to work in that specialization; solving problems, figuring things out. Patenting discoveries, selling patents, patents will go up as companies rich in cash by not having employees will bid on said patents .. or copyrights, thus those will increase and enrich those who filed such to pay for more research.
Partly I feel one of the best things we can do is redesign grade school, say from 7th-12th grade. The majority of it would be the same I guess..but there would be a strong orientation towards teaching individuals how to invest and trade; let them get hands on experience in actually doing it and so forth. We'd develop a universal basic income that people would start getting after graduation. They can invest/trade with it. This is not going to be the sole income point, but instead they can use that to pay for school.
Some wont want to get an education, which I understand. So they do other things that young adults attempt to do, start bands and what not. Many will fail at that particular attempt; but hey they get basic income and know how to trade with it so they at least wont starve.
I think skills like crafts will be important too despite robots. One if you know how to make a good hand made suit you are set, the rich are your clients. Blacksmithing odd items could be something in demand. A hobby of mine is working with metal, I make a lot of cool stuff, sometimes I sell or trade, but usually I keep and forget about it.. usually until someone offers to buy it. Either or, I think the future is not so bleak, we just need basic income, maybe fix the schools a little bit, encourage people to get PhDs, and also spread y combinators about.
