Talk Title
The Security and Privacy Context of Intralogistics Robots
Abstract
Bosch is a manufacturing company with factories all over the world, all of which make heavy use of robots for automation of manufacturing processes and logistics. Security concerns have long been of paramount importance in this context. This talk will introduce which security concerns of the robot system itself we are particularly looking at, as well as common approaches to mitigate these risks. More, since the embedding in the factory system is a large cause for complexity and risk, typical architectural approaches in this area will also be highlighted. In contrast, privacy specifically related to robots have traditionally been a smaller concern in the past, but the advent of vision-based methods and technologies is increasing their importance nowadays, and thus I will shortly cover how we are handling these at the moment, and what we expect to add in the future in this area.
Bio
Ingo Lütkebohle is Senior Expert for Robotics Software at Bosch Research in Germany. He obtained his PhD in computer science at Bielefeld University in 2010, with a thesis on software integration in robotics. During his postdoc at Bielefeld and Stuttgart University, he focussed on performance and system analysis, and continued this after joining Bosch Research in 2014. Notable works from this are ros tracetools, ros2_tracing, and later micro-ROS.
Since 2019 he has been engaged in pre-development and series projects ranging from consumer through construction to intralogistics robots, primarily as a software architect and lead engineer.
