When we are talking about the apocalypse and robots, we must consider that robotics and automation might cause the civil disorders, because they will replace the human workers in the jobs, what normally are reserved to the persons, who are young and uneducated. That thing might cause the increase of unemployment people who are ready to start the rebellions. Robots might replace the workers who have age between 16-25, and when those people will hanging in the shopping center, there might be some disorders.
But when we are talking about the rebellion of robots, that will not cause by robots themselves. There will be some person, who will start attacks against the legal governments with the combat robots, what might be built by the government itself or they can be produced without the permission what was given by the government in some underground factory what is controlled by some private actor, and what might stand hidden inside the jungle of Congo.
That robot base, what might be straight from the "James Bond" movie could be built in some African state, and it might be fully automatized modified car factory, what will build the combat drones. This is terrifying scenario because many African states are corrupted dictatorships, and their leaders need the western technology for supporting their power in some very poor nation. But we might fight back if the robots will attack.
There are the weapons what are effective only against the robots, but they cannot normally harm the humans. Those weapons are extremely powerful EMP-pulses, what can be synthesized by the radio-telescopes and orbital nuclear weapons. The radio waves could also use to deny the communication between drones and their operators. The plasma what can be made in the atmosphere can deny also the use of GPS-system.
And in the case of unauthorized use of the GPS, those satellites can be shut down by their operators, what makes difficult to locate those drones. Of course, the GPS-satellites can be destroyed by the ASAT-weapon. And the second thing what might be used against those drones is computer viruses, what mission is to delete the operating system of the drones and their manufacturing sites. But the misuse of the drones is the extremely bad threat and the many dictators want to replace their armies by the robots. And those machines are cheap to produce, what makes them capable of use by some dictator, and in some visions that man would sit in his office, and controls the drones, what might attack against any person, who was talking or acting against some dictator.
