Secure robotics

Abstract

Security is an under-studied problem within robotics and Internet of Things. Part of the reason for this is that currently most robots and IoT devices remain in the lab at all times. Recent trends show more robots and IoT devices moving “out into the wild” with no humans to protect them. This creates vulnerabilities beyond the well known and well studied network/internet based threat. These threats include external network, local network, software, physical access, tricking the artificial intelligence, and intellectual property theft. This document discribes the above and shows our current work towards detection and mitigation.
