The latest version of the MOV.AI platform addresses the cybersecurity challenges introduced by autonomously moving powerful computing platforms

MOV.AI, who is revolutionizing autonomous mobile robots (AMR) software, released today a major new version of the Robotics Engine Platform™, focused on addressing the growing need for robot security. Version 2.3 contains cutting-edge cybersecurity tools to ensure the safety and security of autonomous mobile robots fleets, humans, and organizations.

With the increasing use of robotics in various industries, cybersecurity has become a critical concern for companies. While autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) bring a new level of automation and autonomy to the warehouse floor, their growing computing power and network connectivity make them vulnerable to attacks just like any other enterprise software. The potential risks, however, are significantly greater. Furthermore, robots are complex systems comprised of 3rd party software and hardware components, which increase the possibility for security vulnerabilities. AMRs move around facilities carrying heavy loads, and are connected to systems and infrastructure such as cameras and other IoT devices. All these factors combined create more attack vectors, and more ways to cause harm.

“Addressing cyber security threats today is a basic requirement of any enterprise software. This is even more important for AMRs due to their potential risks. Our team has been working hard to step in and provide the enterprise-grade elements missing in ROS—advanced cybersecurity tools that can help our customers keep up with the evolving threat landscape,” said Motti Kushnir, CEO of MOV.AI. “We understand that security is a top priority for our customers, and we are committed to providing the most advanced solutions to protect their fleets of autonomous mobile robots.”
