Surveying the security in robotics

First published at https://news.aliasrobotics.com/surveying-the-security-in-robotics/

Safety has been accounted for in robotics, partially at least. Unfortunately, the lack of security has safety repercussions and most manufacturers are neglecting its relevance.

We are witnessing the dawn of robotics. But lessons should be learned from previous technological revolutions, such as the computer industry or the smartphone revolution. We aim to create awareness about the need of caring not only about safety when deploying a robot, but also enforcing strong security in robots. Those manufacturers that learn to apply a security-first approach will have a competitive advantage.

We invite roboticists, manufacturers of robots and robot components as well as any other robot practicioner to participate in the robot security survey.

The questionnaire will be used to produce research material and all results will be public and completely anonymized.

Many thanks for your participation!
