About

Jasmin Wachter is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, safety, and cybersecurity. Her work primarily focuses on enabling safe and trustworthy Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) and defending robotic systems against sophisticated cyber threats. In her highly cited 2019 paper (18 citations), she addressed a critical barrier to true HRC by developing a 2D Collision-Force-Map for sensitive manipulators. This work provided a quantifiable method to assess the trustability of safety measures, moving industrial applications beyond simple coexistence toward genuine, efficient collaboration. More recently, Wachter has pioneered the application of game theory to robotics security. Her 2023 study (16 citations) introduces a novel "Cut-The-Rope" framework to model defenses against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). By moving beyond traditional Poisson-based attack models to simulate realistic attacker behaviors, her experimental work provides a powerful new tool for designing resilient robotic systems. Through these contributions, Wachter is shaping a future where robots are not only safe to work alongside but are also robust against the complex, evolving threats of the digital age.
