Analysis of ways to secure group control for autonomous mobile robots

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the ways of providing security for mobile robots groups control (MRGC) and to develop a security protocol for MRGC under limited computational and power resources away from the controlled area. The solution for this problem assumes features of group control systems and robot systems from the security point of view. The main problem connected with the development of a security system for mobile robots is the distinction of this type of the network from other networks. This demands the development of special methods and approaches that should take many specific factors such as limitations of computational resources and power into account. The proposed solution for MRGC is based on the use of trust concept for finding the validity of nodes and finding targets. In contrast to the existing approaches, this protocol uses several parameters to evaluate the trust that allows to expand the range of repelled attacks.
