About
Michael Doran is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. His work critically examines the vulnerabilities in robotic systems, demonstrating that cybersecurity is often deprioritized during design and manufacturing. His most influential paper, "Cybersecurity issues in robotics" (88 citations), highlights the urgent need for greater security as robots become more widespread. Doran further explores these threats in "A Malicious Attack on the Machine Learning Policy of a Robotic System" (38 citations), showing how intelligent robots, including autonomous vehicles, can be exploited. Beyond security, Doran is dedicated to education, using robotics as a motivational tool in computing curricula. His work on enhancing robotic experiences throughout the curriculum (21 citations) underscores his commitment to training the next generation of engineers. Doran also has a notable applied focus, developing autonomous tour guide robots like the Veronica JagBot and the voice-operated tour planning system. His collaborative engineering design projects, including the Hardware/Software Co-design of an Autonomous Tour Guide Robot, demonstrate his ability to bridge theoretical research with practical, real-world applications.
