On May 31st, 2024 at 11.30 am a new appointment of NECSTFridayTalk series titled "Smart (vulnerable?) end effectors" will take place at DEIB NECSTLab Meeting Room (Building 20) and on line by Zoom. 

During this talk, we will have, as speakers, Vincenzo Greco and Marco Romanini, MSc in Computer Science Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, on the following about the talk:
With Industry 4.0, the collaboration between humans and robots has been particularly emphasized. Collaborative arms are distinguished by their versatility in the realm of collaborative robots. This versatility is further amplified by the advent of smart end effectors. This new paradigm promises to enhance the functionality of robotic arms at the cost of some control. But is control the only thing at stake?
This talk presents a comprehensive security analysis of this emerging paradigm to identify its vulnerabilities and assess potential risks. As a real-world example, we will use the Smart Gripper from Camozzi coupled with the Universal Robots' UR5.

The NECSTLab is a DEIB laboratory, with different research lines on advanced topics in computing systems: from architectural characteristics, to hardware-software codesign methodologies, to security and dependability issues of complex system architectures.

Every week, the “NECSTFridayTalk” invites researchers, professionals or entrepreneurs to share their work experiences and projects they are implementing in the “Computing Systems”.
