REVOLUTIONISING INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS WITH THE NEXT GENERATION ROBOT-SPECIFIC AI-POWERED SECURITY PLATFORM

Project description

Robot-specific AI-based security technology

Today’s industrial robots face numerous security vulnerabilities that can jeopardise their safety. With this in mind, the EIC-funded RIS project has developed the robot immune system (RIS), the first integrated endpoint protection platform specifically designed for robots. RIS uses bio-inspired AI to adapt to new security threats and is directly installed into robotic systems. It monitors robot interactions to detect anomalies and provides a range of protection technologies, including antivirus, intrusion prevention, and data encryption. The technology uses AI to identify vulnerable robots on an industrial network and uncover weaknesses in operational robot systems. It also learns from specific robot deployments to detect and defend against both known and unknown attacks.

Objective

Today, robots are not secure. Thousands of industrial security vulnerabilities are emerging and our team has contributed to filing hundreds of them related to industrial robots like manipulators, AGVs, AMRs and other components.
We have created RIS (Robot Immune System), the first integrated Endpoint Protection Platform specific for robots. RIS is based on a bio-inspired AI that adapts to novel security threats. It is installed directly in the robotic systems, allowing the examination of interactions at robot level in search for anomalies and delivering an integrated suite of protection technologies such as antivirus, intrusion prevention, and data encryption among others.
RIS is a unique solution based on our patented technology. By using AI, RIS is able to search for vulnerable robots on the industrial network and discover vulnerabilities in working robot systems, while learning over particular robot deployments to detect and protect robots against known and even unknown attacks.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

HORIZON-EIC-ACC-BF - HORIZON EIC Accelerator Blended Finance

See all projects funded under this funding scheme

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Coordinator

ALIAS ROBOTICS S.L.
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
