Projektbeschreibung
Mobile Roboterlösungen für Innenräume im Gesundheitswesen
Künstliche Intelligenz und Robotertechnik nehmen bei der Transformation der Gesundheitsbranche eine Schlüsselrolle ein. Sie können beispielsweise zu einer besseren Betreuungsqualität für die Patientinnen und Patienten führen, während die Gesundheitskosten sinken. Gleichzeitig öffnen Innovationen in diesen Bereichen allerdings auch neuen Arten von Cyberbedrohungen Tür und Tor, sodass viele Organisationen diese nur zögerlich übernehmen. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt RESPECT hat die Gestaltung und Entwicklung von Abwehrstrategien zum Ziel, um den sicheren, geschützten und die Privatsphäre achtenden Betrieb mobiler Roboterlösungen für Innenräume zu ermöglichen, die für Logistikanwendungen im Gesundheitswesen eingesetzt werden. Zentrale Bedeutung für die angestrebten Aktivitäten hat die Schaffung eines europäischen, intersektoralen Netzwerks von Organisationen, die an einem kooperativen Forschungsprogramm beteiligt sind, um gemeinsam am Erreichen der oben genannten Vorhaben zu arbeiten.
Ziel
Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence hold a promise for the radical transformation of healthcare services. Besides, the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates that robots are crucial allies during pandemics. Yet, the adoption of these technologies is impeded by concerns related to cybersecurity issues. The rise of security incidents is a timely reminder that not only the volume of attacks is increasing but their diversity is also expanding, posing a significant threat towards disrupting clinical care delivery. Ongoing research focuses on the use of robotics operating in healthcare spaces (surgical, service, logistics), while security aspects are not well covered in the research community.
RESPECT project objective is to create a sustainable European and inter-sectoral network of organisations working on a joint research programme aiming to design and develop concrete defense strategies to ensure secure, safe, resilient and privacy-preserving operation of indoor mobile robotics solutions for logistic applications in healthcare environments. Specifically the main research objectives of the project are: (i) Explore and identify system-specific cyber-physical weaknesses posing security, privacy, and safety threats, in autonomous mobile robots operating in a healthcare environment; (ii) Analyse surfaced vulnerability issues in conjunction with projected threats and propose defence measures and mitigation strategies towards safeguarding mobile robots operation. (iii) Define and standardize a minimal set of vulnerability testing procedures and guidelines leveraging and extending the Robot Vulnerability Scoring System for safe and autonomous robotic fleet management in a “safety-critical setting”. The project will be implemented through staff exchanges among different organizations with complementary expertise in cybersecurity, healthcare, cloud computing and robotics from 5 countries across EU promoting transfer of knowledge between industry and academia.
