As robotics and autonomous systems technology becomes increasingly integrated into critical infrastructure sectors such as emergency services, defense, health and social care, and manufacturing, the need for a secure and private ecosystem is more urgent than ever. However, existing approaches to building robotic systems treat safety, security, and privacy as an afterthought. For example, the current landscape of robotics middleware, such as ROS, has limitations in real-time readiness, usability, and widespread implementation, leading to potential security and privacy vulnerabilities. AI and ML are foundational to the next generation of advanced autonomous robots, but pose novel difficulties in assuring their safety and robustness in physical environments.

The CyLab Robotics Security and Privacy Workshop will convene leading researchers and experts from across academia and industry to discuss strategic approaches to building trusted middleware and toolchains to foster a secure, privacy-preserving robotics ecosystem that is safe and trustworthy by design. We will bridge this gap by uniting experts in robotics, AI, cybersecurity, and privacy, collaborating with partners to meet the demands of industry, academia, and government.
