Robson attended Vincent Massey Secondary School in Windsor, Ontario. Playing baseball for the high school team, he batted leadoff and played center field. The San Diego Padres selected Robson in the 30th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball draft. Rather than sign with the Padres, Robson attended Mississippi State University and played college baseball for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. In 2015, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Brewster Whitecaps and Bourne Braves of the Cape Cod Baseball League, and was named a league all-star. He missed a month in 2016, his senior year, recovering from a broken bone in his hand.
The Detroit Tigers selected Robson in the eighth round of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft. He split the 2016 season between the GCL Tigers and the Connecticut Tigers, hitting a combined .294/.399/.395/.794 with one home run and 11 runs batted in (RBIs). He split the 2017 season between the West Michigan Whitecaps and the Lakeland Flying Tigers, hitting a combined .303/.380/.392/.772 with three home runs and 45 RBIs. In 2018, he began the season with the Erie SeaWolves of the Double-A Eastern League, and was promoted to the Toledo Mud Hens of the Triple-A International League. Combined between the two, he hit .295/.376/.440/.816 with 11 home runs and 47 RBIs. He spent the 2019 season with Toledo, hitting .267/.352/.399/.751 with nine home runs and 52 RBIs.
Robson hit .295/.417/.459 in 96 games split between Erie and Toledo in 2021. On August 12, 2021, Robson was called up by the Tigers and promoted to the major leagues for the first time to replace the injured Niko Goodrum. He made his major league debut that day in a game against the Baltimore Orioles. Robson went 0-for-7 in 4 big league games with Detroit and was outrighted off of the 40-man roster following the season on November 19, 2021.
