Cybersecurity in the Era of Robotics
Recent advances in AI have led to the development of specialized robots that can perform tasks previously thought to be exclusive to humans, including visual perception, speech recognition, and decision-making. However, as the world prepares for a deluge of humanoids, the wide adoption of robots presents unique cybersecurity threats, from data interception to device hijacking. Many are due to a lack of native cybersecurity features in robotic equipment and related technologies, such as the IoT. Hence, to fully capitalize on the potential of robotics, government, industry, and academia are collaborating to strengthen security in every robotic development and deployment area.
