Cybersecurity Robotics :: Online Platform & Research Hub Focused on Robot Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Robotics is a specialized online platform and research hub focused on advancing knowledge in the emerging field of robot cybersecurity. Operated by roboticist and security researcher Víctor Mayoral Vilches, the site serves as a central resource for the robotics community, publishing in-depth articles, case studies, and practical guides on securing robotic systems. It does not develop or sell any robot-based hardware products. Instead, it emphasizes the critical intersection of safety and security in robotics, arguing that “there is no safety without security.”

The platform features the popular Robot Hacking Manual (RHM), an open educational series that provides step-by-step tutorials, research papers, and real-world case studies on topics such as ROS and ROS 2 vulnerabilities, DDS middleware attacks, red teaming exercises, and ethical hacking of robotic systems. Additional content covers SROS2 usability improvements, robot teardown analysis, and reviews of the current state of robot cybersecurity. The site also highlights tools and methodologies for threat modeling, penetration testing, and compliance in industrial and collaborative robot environments.

Cybersecurity Robotics acts as an important knowledge-sharing resource for engineers, researchers, and organizations seeking to understand and mitigate cyber risks in autonomous systems, AGVs, robotic arms, and ROS-based platforms. By openly publishing research and tools, the platform helps raise awareness and supports the development of more resilient robotics technologies.
