About
Nick Cote is a researcher whose work bridges the frontiers of digital fabrication and cyber-physical security. His early contributions include the "BUILD-ing the MASS Lo-Fab Pavilion" (2016), a project that advanced low-fabrication building techniques and has since garnered 3 citations for its innovative approach to accessible architectural design. More recently, Cote has made a significant impact in robotics security with his 2021 paper "On the Security of Cyber-Physical Robotic Systems Using Dynamic Modeling and Simulation," which has earned 2 citations for addressing a critical vulnerability in modern robotics. In this work, he pioneered a novel security layer that monitors torque values in robotic systems—specifically simulated on the Franka Panda using the Unity physics engine—to detect anomalies in real-time, effectively safeguarding against cyber-physical attacks. This dual expertise in both physical construction and digital protection highlights Cote’s unique ability to tackle challenges from the workshop to the server room. His research not only pushes the boundaries of how we build and secure automated systems but also inspires new pathways for integrating safety and creativity in engineering.
