Science website admits robots will destroy us all.

LiveScience is getting into the Robot Uprising Watch. They're gonna post a bunch of articles/videos next week about how we're all going to be killed and/or enslaved by our Speak N' Spell. Don't say the Coozer Files didn't warn you.

Robots have not taken over the world. Yet. But with recent advances in humanoid robots and the growing field of cybernetic enhancement of humans, a convergence looms. Exciting? Scary?

In a three-week full-court press of videos and stories, LiveScience will examine how:

  • Robots are being made in our image.
  • Robots are learning to walk, think and feel.
  • They are increasingly able to take care of us.
  • Human individuality may be at risk.

Episode 1 will go live at 2 p.m. ET Monday. The 10-part series continues each Monday, Wednesday and Friday through April 6.
