Robo was born in Cayenne, French Guiana and later moved to France.[1] After playing soccer in his youth, he began playing gridiron football when he was 18 years old while he was studying in Marseille.[2][3]
After moving to Canada, Robo played U Sports football as a running back for the Montreal Carabins from 2015 to 2018.[3] Over his four year career, he had 677 rushing yards and six touchdowns, including 145 rushing yards in a single game against Concordia in his senior year.[3]
Montreal Alouettes
Robo qualified for the Canadian Football League's first ever Global Draft in 2019 as the league wanted to expand its international reach.[4] He was then drafted third overall by the Montreal Alouettes and signed with the team on May 15, 2019.[5][6] However, he was released at the end of training camp on June 9, 2019.[6]

Robo was re-signed by the Stampeders in the following off-season on November 26, 2019.[8] However, he did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 CFL season and was released on February 3, 2021.[9]

Shortly after his release from the Stampeders, it was announced on February 6, 2021, that Robo had signed with the Toronto Argonauts.[10] He played in 12 regular season games where he had three special teams tackles. He spent part of 2022 training camp with the team, but was released after the first pre-season game on May 29, 2022.[11]
