known as/for/to do sth

Here's how we should use these:

1. Known to do something: Usually, we say "known to do sth" in two different ways. First, when we want to talk about some fact that people have learned. We also use this when we are talking about the habits of someone or someting that other people know about.

Examples:
Smoking cigarettes is known to cause cancer.
Pandas are known to be an endangered species. 
Tommy is known to come late to class sometimes.

2.known for:  We use "known for" when we want to talk about the reputation of something.

Examples:
The pomo of California were known for their basket making.
New York City is known for its tall buildings and busy lifestyle.
Dolphins are known for their intelligence and playfulness.

3. Known as: We use "known as" when we want to talk about the name of somebody or something or its definition.

Examples;
In some parts of the United States, the lynx is known as a puma.
An irrational fear, one that has no basis in experience, is known as a phobia.

希望能对你有所帮助.
