About
Erik Tews is a leading researcher at the intersection of cybersecurity and robotics, best known for pioneering the Robot Security Framework (RSF). His landmark 2018 paper, which has garnered 17 citations, introduced the first standardized methodology for performing comprehensive security assessments in robotic systems. Recognizing that robots are increasingly entrusted with critical societal tasks yet remain dangerously vulnerable, Tews developed a cross-disciplinary approach that bridges classical security principles with the unique challenges of robotic architectures. His work addresses a critical gap: while robotics technology advances rapidly, security practices lag behind, leaving autonomous systems exposed to exploitation. By providing a structured, repeatable framework for evaluating robot security, Tews has laid essential groundwork for the safe deployment of robots in healthcare, manufacturing, and public service. His research continues to influence both academic cybersecurity curricula and industry best practices, helping engineers and security professionals alike build more resilient autonomous systems. Through the RSF, Tews has established himself as a foundational voice in the emerging field of robotics security.
