President Obama, in remarks today about the importance of a solid education in Science and Math, tipped his hand on national defense - National defense against ROBOTS. Apparently he's aware of the potential for an upcoming robopocalypse, saying:
I believe that robotics can inspire young people to pursue science and engineering. And I also want to keep an eye on those robots in case they try anything. (emphasis added)
So, there you have it. Robots are mainstream, and so are the fears.
Update:
Here's a video of the press conference. Skip to 1:51 for the words that will go down in history (at least till the robots take over, and then they will erase it):
