Cybersecurity

Alias Robotics and Joanneum Research display first results on the Robot Security Survey

We present some results from an online survey (Robot Security Survey) conducted by Alias Robotics and Joanneum Research. We aimed to assess the overall security status and awareness on robot security and the degree of uptake of security measures within the robotics industry.

real-time

Real-time security for robotics

Security is not a product, it's a process. It needs to be continously and periodically assessed. Alias' mission is to remove 0-days from robotics. This article discusses some of the threats that apply to real-time systems and how to secure them.

Threat Model

Threat modeling a ROS 2 robot

In the context of robotics, a threat model identifies threats that apply to the robot and/or its components (both software and hardware) while providing means to address or mitigate them. We present the threat model of a ROS 2 robot.
