To avoid upheaval what we need is to severely limit unskilled immigration into this country. Of course we will never do that because it is racism.
Curtailing unskilled immigrants might stop new unskilled people from coming in. However, we already have alot of unskilled people who are native-born. Upheaval has taken place before. See also the 1960s.
What will happen to the unemployed after robots take over the economy?
John Conner will send a soldier back in time in order to save his future-mother Sarah Conner from death by a cybernetic organism known as a Terminator (who has also been sent back in time to kill her before she is able to conceive the John - the future leader of the Resistance).
The soldier manages to save Sarah but dies in the process (but not before helping to conceive John). She goes on to safely deliver her son, learn military defensive and offensive tactics, and put together a large arsenal of heavy and light weaponry. She trains her son as he grows. As a young man he eventually survives Judgment Day and does indeed become (as was his destiny) the leader of the human Resistance against the machines.
So what will the unemployed do? Dumb question. Out of necessity for the very survival of the human race, they will all get German Shepherd dogs (who can recognize the human-form cyborgs) and engage in the Resistance Movement of course.

I think starvation will happen next. If not that, a spike a crime rates. If people can't work, and there will be alot of people displaced by robots, there will be people desperate for money. Can't work, can't eat. Alot of people will get desperate. Crime, violence. If not that, many people who haven't learned how to grow things themselves or fish/hunt might starve.
But what about those who can work but are too lazy to work and those who can work but say they can't and collect money for fake back disabilities? What will happen to all the fakers who collect money for laying around... when they CAN work?

My concerns are for the people who are willing to work but can't get jobs. Let's discuss that first.
There is no choice for revolution in the poll. The French did it 200 years ago. Grab the aristocrats and chop their heads off. The Russians did it 100 years ago. Grab the aristocrats and chop their heads off. What you end up with after the revolution is a toss-up, but millions of people will not volunteer to freeze and starve.

I think the system will self correct. When too many are unemployed, too many will not pay for the products & services offered by the robots. The masses will create and find other sources for to fill their needs. The robots and their owners will loose purpose. The rich robotic owners will have to turn to the originally displaced workers for their needs.
