Service Robot Security from Unauthorized Access by Connection Control

In connection with mass introduction of robots in various spheres of activity, and also absence of due attention to such factor as safety, the probability of unauthorized access to their blocks of management raises. Typical decisions on safety maintenance by introduction of information security systems are not suitable for the robotized platforms in view of their capacities limitation. Thus, there is a problem of providing protection of the control unit of robotic platforms from various threats. The results of the analysis of possible approaches to the formation of a list of threats and vulnerabilities of the robotic platform are shown. The list of threats corresponding to current Russian legal system are given. Algorithms for secure interaction with a robotic platform have been developed. The results of testing countermeasures on an initially unprotected research robotic platform using the NI MyRio 1900 controller are shown. Research results can be useful both for scientific tasks in protecting against theft and distortion of research results, and for production tasks related to the security of service robots.
