Here's two basic definitions of robot:
"A machine that resembles a human and does mechanical, routine tasks on command."
"Any machine or mechanical device that operates automatically with humanlike skill."
So, I would say that none of your examples even come close to fitting that description. We can also assume it would be rather easy to determine if a machine fits the robot definition and should be taxed.
Also, if the government could find a reason to justify taxing hammers that take taxable jobs away from workers that pay income taxes, you can be sure they would implement such a tax.

In this situation you can avoid being taxed simply by making a robot that does not look like a human. "Any machine or mechanical device that operates automatically with humanlike skill." Dishwasher is usually better than human, and is a mechanical device.. Tax dishwasher!
