Humanoids - Safety Standards for the Next Wave of Robots
Today's safety concerns generally boil down to physical component and perception issues. If a robot is in a rugged environment, hardware components degrade and can lead to dangerous malfunctions.
How Does Zero Trust Apply to Robotics?
By hardening your endpoints, securing your software supply chain and enforcing continuous verification, zero trust closes the most common attack paths long before they can be exploited, from development to deployment.
AUVSI Launches "Trusted UGV" Cybersecurity and Supply Chain Certification at XPONENTIAL 2025
As UGVs are increasingly deployed across a wide range of use cases-from defense and public safety missions to critical infrastructure inspection -their reliance on software, sensors, and connectivity makes them increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats and supply chain risks.
Interoperability, the VDA5050 Standard and MiR's approach
The VDA5050 standard is one of the industry's attempts to address this challenge by standardizing communication between multiple different robot types from various suppliers using a common control system.
Averting Factory Fires, Diminishing Downtime: How Thermal Imaging is Safeguarding International Production Lines
The system required a bespoke interface that could accurately test each battery for thermal runaway, and then export and transmit the data to a server to be cross-referenced and analyzed where anomalies were found to be present.
