Hello ClassicalLiberal.
Keep in mind that a robot does not create something but "assemble", "produce", something. The act of creation, properly speaking, can be said of a God's act only because only God can create without any existing thing (creatio ex-nihilo). Therefore when God creates, necessarily knows what create, as a composer knows what music he is composing. Now, since nothing can exists without the act of existance and the act of existance is God's first cause, it follows that God knows everything that exists or can exists.
