The Foxes were promoted to the Premier League last season after a 10-year absence. But Nigel Pearson's men have slipped to the foot of the table after collecting just two points from 11 games.
Their latest setback came against Manchester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, when Frank Lampard scored the only goal for the visitors.
Robinson was appointed in July 2013 with a remit to "to provide strategic input to the club's football operations at all levels, driving the consistent implementation of the club's football philosophy".
He now appears to have paid the price for an ineffective summer transfer window, following promotion from the Championship.
Of the 10 arrivals in the summer just three - Esteban Cambiasso, Danny Simpson and Ben Hamer - started against Manchester City, with Hamer only in the side because of injury to number one goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Leicester have not won since beating Manchester United 5-3 on September 21 and with just 17 days to go before the transfer window opens again, the club have decided to replace Robinson as the man in charge of recruitment.
The Foxes must also deal with manager Pearson facing an Football Association charge relating to an incident with a fan during their 3-1 loss to Liverpool earlier this month.
