Mobile robots are increasingly replacing people in particularly dangerous situations and those at risk of losing their lives or health. One of such applications are military and preventive activities, where mobile robots are not only used for reconnaissance and patrol operations and the development trend is focused on the increasing use of mobile r...

... example of an American combat robot is Foster-Miller TALON [4]. It is a small, weighing about 45kg robot on a tracked chassis with the possibility of being equipped with an armament module in the TALON SWORDS version (Figure 2). The use of TALON SWORDS robots in military missions was tested in Iraq. ...

Renal failure is a serious condition under any circumstances, linked significantly to increased mortality, although whether this relationship is causative or associative is unclear. Combat-related renal failure is uncommon, but potentially more serious than in the civilian context, due to the limitations of available treatment during deployment. Th...

Innovation teams formed in incubators, research accelerators, hackathon weekends, and within organizations need to quickly align on narrative, workflow, and objectives in order to achieve success. Many of these teams disintegrate or fail to perform due to lack of alignment. Operations orders, such as those in use by the military, have demonstrable...

Introduction Points of entry (POE) have an important role in timely national response to infectious diseases threats. However, a guiding framework is lacking for the transition from generic preparedness into optimally specified response for an imminent infectious disease threat, a step called ‘operational readiness’.

In fact, they were being used by the British army in Northern Ireland since 1970s [60], to combat the IEDs threat imposed by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and its different factions and descendants [61], [62], [63]. Such robot techniques (Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)) evolved and were also used by US-led NATO forces (including the UK) in Iraq and Syria [64], [65], in Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan [66], [67], [68], [69]. Also, France used them in Mali, Somalia and Nigeria [70], [71] against the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and Al-Qaeda operatives, and other terrorist factions (i.e Boko Haram, Al-Shabab). ...

Abstract—The recent digital revolution led robots to become integrated more than ever into different domains such as agricultural, medical, industrial, military, police (law enforcement) and logistics. Robots are devoted to serve, facilitate and to enhance the human life. However, many incidents have been occurring, leading to serious injuries and devastating impacts such as the unnecessary loss of human lives. Unintended accidents will always take place, but the ones caused by malicious attacks represent a very challenging issue. This includes maliciously hijacking and controlling robots and causing serious economic and financial losses. This paper reviews the main security vulnerabilities, threats, risks and their impacts, and the main security attacks within the robotics domain. In this context, different approaches and recommendations are presented in order to enhance and improve the security level of robotic systems such as multi-factor device/user authentication schemes, in addition to multi-factor cryptographic algorithms. We also review the recently presented security solutions for robotic systems.
