Security Vulnerabilities and Threats in Robotic Systems: A Comprehensive Review

摘要

The recent digital revolution has resulted in robots being integrated more than ever into various domains, such as agriculture, healthcare, and the military.Robots are dedicated to serving, facilitating, and improving human life.However, the growing prevalence of robotics has brought to light the need for robust security measures.While unintentional accidents are inevitable, this paper focuses on the increasingly challenging problem of malicious cyber-attacks against robotic systems.One specific incident highlighting the severity of this issue occurred in 2022 when a healthcare robot was hacked, resulting in the misadministration of medication to several patients, leading to severe health complications and unnecessary loss of human lives.Such instances underscore the urgency of understanding the robotics domain's security vulnerabilities, threats, and consequences.In conclusion, this paper highlights the critical aspects of securing robotic systems in today's technologically advanced world.By identifying and analyzing the primary security vulnerabilities, this paper examines the primary security vulnerabilities, the type of application, then the impact of vulnerabilities; we can pave the way for effective security measures and ultimately ensure the safety and reliability of robotic systems.
