Humanoid robots: How to bring security in your next project
Why humanoid robots need security inside
Humanoid robots are becoming more capable: walking, grasping objects, and interacting with people. As they move closer to our daily lives and work alongside humans, the stakes for robot manufacturers rise. And, with more robots connected to cloud networks, the attack surface expands even further: a malfunction, a breach, or a loss of control is no longer just a technical issue. It can become a real safety risk.
Discover the two main types of attacks on humanoid robots: cloud-based and device-based.
How secure elements protect humanoid robots
Secure elements create trust by authenticating subparts, tracking usage, or simply by ensuring the robot is running on the proper piece of software. Additionally, they prevent from data manipulation and privacy breach by establishing a secure connection to Cloud networks.
Authentication
Strictly authenticate robot component to avoid malicious penetration and protect against clones & counterfeits
Keep track of usage
Monitor and control the usage of consumables, peripherals, and accessories thanks to secure counters
Data flow protection
Protect data from manipulation and privacy breach with TLS establishment
Ensure platform integrity
Verify application integrity to ensure the robot runs the expected software
