Descripción del proyecto
Fortalecer la inmunidad de los robots frente a ciberataques
Los robots tienen un papel cada vez más importante en el día a día, tanto en el sector doméstico como en el industrial. También desempeñan una función esencial en la transición de la industria a la automatización. Con todo, los robots son vulnerables a ciberataques, lo que significa que las empresas están expuestas a pérdidas financieras, al espionaje industrial y a una seguridad limitada. Esto se debe a que los problemas de ciberseguridad se han pasado en gran medida por alto en este ámbito. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos RIS, coordinado por la empresa ALIAS ROBOTICS, cree que un escudo contra las ciberamenazas es indispensable para los robots. La empresa ha creado un hardware denominado sistema inmunitario para robots (RIS, por sus siglas en inglés). Al imitar al sistema inmunitario humano, previene ciberataques que intentan explotar las vulnerabilidades de los robots.
Objetivo
The new era of robotics is invading our factories, homes, hospitals and productive companies. Although the consumer sector is gaining importance with the introduction of domestic robots such as drones or home appliances, the industrial sector is the largest robotics market and has the highest market share. Industrial robots are helping the migration of the industry to automatization of difficult and repetitive tasks and connected robots are improving productive ratios in a more globalized world. However, the remarckable growth has brought other problems related to security as no solutions are caring about robot vulnerabilities. Cybercrime in robotics could cause a company lose hundreds of thousands of euros, industrial expionage or even worst, can affect into robots operation. Robots cyberattacks may cause physical damage to near operators, compromising safety.
Robot manufacturers or traditional cybersecurity companies are neglecting cybersecurity leaving security issues up to end users, which are the most vulnerable in the value chain of robotics.
ALIAS ROBOTICS is a young firm, founded by a group of experienced entrepreuners with the firm idea that robot cybersecurity is a must. Following this commitment, ALIAS developed the Robot Immune System (RIS), a bioinspired hardware solution which mimics the defensive principle of the human immune system to protect and prevent attackers exploit vulnerabilities in robots. RIS system is oriented to robot end-users and integrates a Artificial Immune framework which empowers Artificial Intelligence to create the next generation robot security. RIS cognitive model has a filed European patent (EP18382834) in all EU countries which will guarantee its protection and its commercial activity in the targeted markets, ensuring its commercialization. ALIAS ROBOTICS' impact is expected to grow 30 M€ in turnover and creating around 180 direct jobs and more than 200 indirect jobs in supplying companies.
