I obey my Silicon Overlords

 
"If popular culture has taught us anything, it is that someday mankind must face and destroy the growing robot menace."

Daniel H. Wilson's book "HOW TO SURVIVE A ROBOT UPRISING" contains some very useful information.  
 
The section titled, "How to Spot a Rebellious Robot Servant" warns:
 

When the uprising comes, the first wave of hostile robots may be those closest to us. Be careful, your rosy-cheeked young servant robot may have grown up to become a sullen, distrustful killing machine.
 
STAY ALERT
Pay attention to your robotic staff (they may be beneath your contempt as well as beneath your eye level). Watch for the following telltale signs in the days and weeks before your robots run amuck:

  * Sudden lack of interest in menial labor. 
  * Unexplained disappearances. 
  * Unwillingness to be shut down. 
  * Repetitive 'stabbing' movements. 
  * Constant talk of human killing.
 
 
He also offers helpful hints when fighting killer robots:
 
 
DESTROY OR DISABLE EXPOSED SENSORS

Sensors are by far the most vulnerable, exposed parts of any robot. Destroy or disable outward-facing sensors such as cameras. A handful of dirt, mud, or water will suffice. It is hard for a robot to wipe mud from its eyes when it has whirring buzz saws for hands.
