At a guess, I'd say you should buy stock in companies working on home robotics.
Right. Is there no more sophisticated strategy though?
Perhaps buying stock in companies that make microchips? Those home robotics companies are going to be spending a fair amount on microchips to fuel their growth...
Buy Google - if home robotics turns into a thing they'll probably be running it, whether because they set a bunch of geniuses on the problem or they bought out the company that first started making these robots.
More seriously, I suppose you might be able to extrapolate some other information from that - for example, human servants would be even less useful, and materials/services used to produce robots might become more valuable.
In this case, if you're one of the people that bought into the company before Google bought it, you can make quite a bit more than if you bought into Google, just like it would have been better to buy into Kiva than to buy into Amazon. This often requires being a venture capitalist or angel investor, though.
I suppose buy Google is a less sophisticated strategy, at that. As well as a joke.
