NICE unveiled a Robo Ethical Framework promoting responsibility and transparency in the design, creation and deployment of AI-powered robots. NICE's ethical guidelines set the standard for designing, building and deploying robots, and form the basis for solid and ethically sound robot and human collaboration.
That's the kind of thing that I think is particularly cool. Bill Detwiler: I'd love to drill down on that a little bit and talk about those technologies that are making robotics really possible in ways that we didn't think about just even a decade ago, because I think most people think about how we've got automation, we've had that in factories for decades.
We built Pentest Robots to give infosec specialists more time to do work they enjoy, creating more value for their customers and advancing their professional growth. Scan your targets with robots to eliminate repetitive tasks, waiting times, and manual steps included in every pentest.
Sadly, continued attacks against healthcare and medical infrastructure will probably lead to serious consequences going into 2021. While there have been no known attacks against over-the-air updates to vehicle software, it will become a growing concern as more manufacturers adopt the technology.
A group of academic researchers has devised a new eavesdropping attack that leverages the lidar sensors present in commodity robot vacuum cleaners. The same method is used by laser microphones and basically LidarPhone transforms the lidar sensors on the vacuum cleaning robot into microphones.
Over the past year the 325th Security Forces Squadron have been trialing the security robots via a so-called "3D Virtual Ops Center," where the hardware hounds patrol the grounds and feed back data to central command. "These robot dogs will be used as a force multiplier for enhanced situational awareness by patrolling areas that aren't desirable for human beings and vehicles," said Major Jordan Criss, 325th Security Forces Squadron commander.
Researchers have uncovered a new attack that lets bad actors snoop in on homeowners' private conversations - through their robot vacuums. The attack, called "LidarPhone" by researchers, in particular targets vacuums with LiDAR sensors, as the name suggests.
By generating powerful streams of water, UCSD's squid-like robot can swim untethered. The "Squidbot" carries its own power source, and has the room to hold more, including a sensor or camera for underwater exploration.
Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Milan and cybersecurity firm Trend Micro have analyzed some of the most popular industrial programming languages and showed how they can open the door to attacks against robots and other programmable manufacturing machines. The researchers analyzed programming languages from ABB, Comau, Denso, Fanuc, Kawasaki, Kuka, Mitsubishi, and Universal Robots, which can be used to create custom applications that enable industrial robots to carry out complex automation routines.
According to its maker, Trifo, the Ironpie home surveillance robot vacuum isn't just your dust bunnies' worst nightmare. It's true, the artificial intelligence -enhanced internet of things robot vacuum can indeed be connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, can be controlled remotely for vacuuming, and can remotely stream out video showing its surroundings, given that - like other IoT gadgets - it comes equipped with a video camera.
