Robotic and AI Safety and Security

Call for Papers
There are numerous recent advancements in all aspects of development and deployment in everyday life of advanced domestic and industrial robots (soldier-robots, robots museum guides, human-like biped robots, office robots, androids, etc.), as well as artificial entities (such as intelligent software agents and avatars). However, safety and security issues related to robotics are barely addressed. This special issue aims at mitigating this problem.

Original, high-quality unpublished contributions are invited to one of the following topics devoted to robotic and AI safety engineering.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

    Robot behavior recognition and prediction
    Robot detection or robot self-recognition
    Secure robot-to-robot or R2H identification
    Robot, Avatar, or AI agent authentication
    Robot or AI versus human (CAPTCHA) testing
    Robot or AI confinement procedures
    Human security in robot populated areas
    Robot, Avatar, or AI agent recognition
    Reward function integrity
    Design verification in self-assembling systems
    Secure communication in robots and humans
    Program or program-output recognition
    Goal consistency in self-improving systems
    Virtual world security and safety
    Robot or AI antihacking measures
    Robot antitheft devices
    Robot or AI agent tempering detection
    Forensic analysis of robots/AI software
    Emergency shutdown mechanisms
    Robot or AI control and monitoring systems
    Robot or AI morals and ethics
    Nanorobot control and safety
    Self-destruction/deletion capabilities
    Drone safety and security
    Malware targeting robots and control systems
    Other robot security/safety topics
    Safe and secure drone control
    Drone flight regulations for security and safety
    Drone’s software responsible for security
    Vulnerabilities in robot's control software
    Malware targeting robotic and control systems
