They want or they wants

correct - I want, You want, We want, They want. Robert wants
reason - we can add "s/es" only in 3rd person singular numbers. here (I, you, we, they) these are not 3rd person singular number. but "Rober" this is a name and it's a 3rd person singular number so "Robert wants" is correct.
