communication?
power distribution?
OR
robotics and controls?

I like all!!!!but what do you think that have more demand and future???

It is up to you. No one can tell you what is better or worse. I can tell you some thinks about each.
Computers - They will want you to program alot. You will take about 6 programming classes. The really big difference between computer engineering and computer science is VHDL. Only electrical and computer engineers learn it. If you want to get a computer engineering degree I would also consider getting a electrical engineering degree at the same time. At the University of Florida it is something like 18 more credit hours.
Communications - You better like math and probability. There is some very intense math in communications. It is also a very hard subject because there aren't many books on building communications systems. It will require programming.
Power Distribution - Depending on what area of power you go into you may not need much math at all. I would recommend learning AUTOCAD. This area is based a great deal on regulations so much of the time you will be referring to manuals on how something should be designed. But there is still the really hard stuff.
Robotics - It requires a great deal of math. I am assuming you are referring to arm robots because those are the most commonly used. That is very big on position and orientation. Robotics really covers all aspects of electrical and goes into other engineering fields. Not a bad one but not sure how much demand there is unless you go to graduate school
Controls - It is not very difficult as some of the others. It requires a great deal of computer simulations. Using MATLAB is a must. A big part is modeling systems to improve stability.
That’s all I can think to write. You will need to know some of each to do any of them. It is really a choice and a little luck as to what kind of job you get first.

I would guess right now there may be a shortage of analog circuit designers, since digital is the "hot" area. I would definitely consider digital signal processing and communications. Power engineering is looked down upon by many electrical engineers because it is associated with "old" technology (motors, generators, transformers, etc.). For that reason there may be a shortage of talent in that area, but that field definitely employs modern technolgy.

surely its a power distribution since me also electrical engineer

Power distribution is more versatile specially if you're planning to be an independent contractor.

believe me if you are in ee and know little phy and maths you can shift and work from phd in phy to phd in nano to bio anywhere anyway you like

It depends on what your interest is in.
