It extends Robinson's two-and-a-half year stay at the Kassam Stadium, during which he has taken United from 16th in Sky Bet League One to last season's play-off final.
Although the U's lost at Wembley, chairman Tiger feels the club have a bright future with the 39-year-old in charge.
He told the club's official website: “Karl has done an outstanding job and I am so proud of him.
"Two and a half years ago I took months finding the right manager because I needed someone with a massive desire for success.
"It took time but we definitely got the right man and we believe Karl will take this club forward on all levels.
