Just out of curiosity, in this system, how would anything get done, and who would do it?

What's the motivation to work?

 

The majority of work is done by robots. Money isn't the only motivator. (Proper) Scientists don't work for the money, its finding out the unknown that motivates them.

 

 Even if the Scientist doesn't work for money, the tools he uses only exist because someone does.

A computer today allows us to calculate things that would take a thousand years without one. Without capitalism, those computers would not exist.

 

As for the robot thing...

you must be talking about a futuristic world with technology we have yet to discover. That technology would only be discovered in a Capitalistic society. (or at a minimum, orders of magnitude sooner)

 

 Soviet Russia had powerful computers (for the time) and they managed to put a man in space (before capitalist America).

The tools already exist to build a super computer, they just cost a lot money. Without money, the motivated scientists would be able to build super computers at will.
