About

Alessio Botta is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, cybersecurity, and distributed computing. His work primarily focuses on the security of robotic systems and the development of advanced networking architectures for next-generation robotics. Botta’s major contributions include a comprehensive survey on cyber security for robots, which has garnered 65 citations and highlights the critical vulnerabilities in medical, defense, and industrial robots. He is also a pioneer in Cloud, Fog, and Dew Robotics, proposing innovative frameworks like DewROS—a platform that enables informed, decentralized decision-making by offloading computational tasks to external systems. His 2019 paper on architectures for Cloud, Fog, and Dew Robotics (36 citations) advocates for a layered approach to overcome the limitations of standalone robots. Through his work on the Sherpa Project and DewROS, Botta has demonstrated how networking technologies can empower robots with near-unlimited resources, ensuring they can interact safely and efficiently with humans. With a growing citation impact, Botta is shaping the future of connected, secure, and intelligent robotic systems.
