About
Gorka Olalde Mendia is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and cybersecurity, whose work has fundamentally shaped how the field approaches robot security. His primary research areas include robotic security assessment methodologies, vulnerability scoring systems for cyber-physical systems, and security education through competitive hacking platforms. Mendia's most significant contribution is the development of the Robot Security Framework (RSF), which provides the first standardized methodology for conducting comprehensive security assessments specifically designed for robotic systems, addressing a critical gap where classical IT security approaches fell short. His work on the Robot Vulnerability Scoring System (RVSS) represents another landmark contribution, creating an open standard that accurately captures the unique security-safety interplay in cyber-physical systems—a dimension that traditional scoring systems like CVSS fail to address. With over 35 citations across his key publications, Mendia has established himself as a foundational voice in robotic security. His innovative Robotics CTF (RCTF) platform has further advanced the field by creating a practical playground for security researchers to explore robot vulnerabilities, effectively bridging the longstanding gap between the robotics and cybersecurity communities.
