Álava, Spain {endika, victor}@aliasrobotics.com Abstract Cybersecurity in Robotics is a rapidly developing
area that draws attention from practitioners and researchers. An increase in
cyber-attacks, combined with the development of automated processes,
introduces new threats that must be addressed to secure information assets
and promote trust in robotics systems. Thus, as robotics can be applied to
many facets of an organization and adopted in different sectors, it is
critical to evaluate cybersecurity risks in robotics platforms and understand
how robots will affect tomorrow’s cybersecurity strategy. In this paper, we
identify existing problems in managing cyber-security in robotics and provide
an overview of the critical cyber-security countermeasures in robotics. We
also analyze the scientific approaches to managing cyber-attacks in robotics.
In particular, we focus on the types of robotic systems that are more prone
to cyber-attacks, the main cyber-attacks performed on robots, and their
developments. Finally, we offer examples of common attacks and propose
directions for further advances in this area. Various approaches and recommendations
are discussed in this area to increase and improve the security level of
robotic systems. The approach adopted in this work was helpful to understand
how to make a robotic system more resilient and reliable from a security
perspective. Keywords: Robotics Security, Cyber-Attacks,
