About
Gelei Deng is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, cybersecurity, and distributed systems, whose work has fundamentally reshaped how we understand and defend multi-robot systems. His major contributions center on exposing critical vulnerabilities in robotic platforms, particularly through his pioneering analysis of denial-of-service attacks against cloud-based multi-robot systems (36 citations) and his landmark investigation into the insecurity of Secure ROS2 (34 citations), which revealed foundational flaws in the next-generation Robot Operating System. Deng’s systematic exploration of Byzantine threats in multi-robot systems (27 citations) and his comprehensive SoK on sensor spoofing attacks against robotic vehicles (26 citations) have provided the field with essential taxonomies and attack models, serving as key references for both academic researchers and industry practitioners. His work bridges high-level security analysis with practical distributed motion control, as demonstrated in his research on discrete-event systems and model predictive control. With over 130 total citations and a growing portfolio of highly influential papers, Deng is recognized as a critical voice in robotic security, helping to ensure that as robots become more autonomous and interconnected, they do so with robust, built-in defenses.
