Mechanical Engineering if you like putting together the nuts, bolts, gears, hydrolics, wheels, etc. to make a machine.
Electrical Engineering if you like putting together power (solar, battery, etc.) system, processing units (computer parts like CPU's memory chips, networking, etc.), or sensors (sound sensors, image sensors, feelers, etc.)
Computer Science if you like programming the machines to do something useful.
If, however, all you care about is salary, see: http://www.engineersalary.com/

Choose whatever allows either the greatest varsatility or the least painful change options. That is, start with the most rigorous plan of attack and see how you do. Plan on changing major and/or career path. It always happens. When I went to college, I planned on electrical engineering but liked chemistry, too, so I started in the chemical engineering program. I eventually wound up with Chem Eng and EE degrees.
Don't think that EE is the best for computer studies. That used to be the case, but that was also when the field was so basic that the engineer had to know how the computer was built--or had to know how to build one. No longer. The computer now is almost a commodity.
Your best bet is probably ME with emphasis on robotics, if such a specialty is available. If it isn't, talk the department into offering one. You wouldn't be the first to have defined a new specialty.
Finally, plan on being a manager bee as well as a worker bee. Any engineer worth his salt is a project manager, not just a builder.
And best of luck.

If you want to write code to control an existing robotic system, probably comp sci; if you want to design the hardware also, go the electrical engineering route especially at a school that's doing a lot of work in that field ... MIT comes immediately to mind but I'm sure there are many others.

There are much more jobs in chemical engineering. Chemical engineers are valuable, well paid, and overall a very good job to have. However, I think that aerospace engineering is possibly the coolest thing in existence today. Remember that you don't have to work for a space agency, you could also work with aircraft.

Electronics is good ,it has been very good to me. Make sure that u incorporate lots of computer's too.
Good luck
