Haven't even heard before about this guy, but I too think that smart enough robots pose a serious threat for all life. Or masses of dumb robots, for example some small mini/nano, whatever robot with sharp tooth and with it's 1000 buddy attacking on you, could be quite nasty business.

I don't know about the nuke comparison and it doesn't even matter, those won't exclude each other. Maybe the robots will nuke us (like in Terminator).
