Robots, if they get free will, will work for their own goals, by virtue of evolution.
If they never reach that threshold, we could find ourselves in either one of two broad scenarios: Personal Jets or Personal Computers.
Personal Robots are available for the extremely wealthy and be used against everyone else to keep people off "their" resources. There will be no human labour, simply because states will be built up from rulers and robots.
The other scenario is everyone gets robots, humanity's only bottleneck will be human imagination, much like today's internet. Easy access to power will be a security nightmare not different to the internet's except in the much higher physical stakes.
