Tipo tesi EXPERIMENTAL THESIS
Descrizione Motivations:
The first proven hijacking of a medical telerobot raises important questions over the security of remote surgery and rehabilitation. We expect robotic platforms to be everyday more spread in mission-critical tasks since they pose noticeable advantages; this however will also cause the creation of more complex cyberattacks that must be efficiently detected and prevented at a maximum extent.
Aim of the Thesis is to:
1) identify a set of possible attacks
2) propose countermeasures and protection mechanisms to secure robotic infrastructures and platforms
3) propose an intrinsically secure framework for remote manipulation and control of robots
4) experimentally prove the quality of the proposed solutions on real medical and rehabilitative robot environments.
The entire activity will rely on a strong collaboration with:
• CINI Cybersecurity National Lab
• CISCO Corporate
• Univ of Virginia VA (USA).
Learning outcomes:
During this thesis, the candidate will acquire an in-depth know-how on the state-of-the-art technologies, frameworks and methodologies on remote control of robotic infrastructures and platforms, on telesurgery and telerehabilitation, and on cybersecurity in general.
External/Industrial cooperations:
The thesis activities will be carried out in collaboration with:
- CISCO CORPORATE (USA)
- Univ of Virginia VA (USA)
- CINI Cybersecurity National Laboratory
Conoscenze richieste Programming Languages: C/C++, Java.
