New Security Technology Detects Malicious Cyberattacks on Drones, Cars, and Robots
Sensor-based automatic control technology is now used in hundreds of applications as varied as vehicle accident prevention, agricultural monitoring, and self-balancing robots. But as sensor interaction with the environment increases to enable control systems to “see,”“listen,”and “sense”their environment more accurately, the potential for cyber attacks also grows. To counter this danger,Mitsubishi Electric has developed what it believes is the first sensor-security technology for detecting inconsistencies that appear in sensor measurementswhen a system is under attack.
