ABSTRACT
With the rapid expansion of digital media and the advancement of the artifcial intelligence, robotics has
drawn the attention of cyber security research community. Robotics systems use many Internet of Things
(IoT) devices, web interface, internal and external wireless sensor networks and cellular networks for
better communication and smart services. Individuals, industries and governments organisations are
facing fnancial loses, losing time and sensitive data due these cyber attacks. The use these diferent
devices and networks in robotics systems are creating new vulnerabilities and potential risk for cyber
attacks. This chapter discusses about the possible cyber attacks and economics losses due to these attacks
in robotics systems. In this chapter, we analyse the increasing uses of public and private robots, which
has created possibility of having more cyber-crimes. Finally, contemporary and important mitigation
approaches for these cyber attacks in robotic systems have been discussed in this chapter.
1. INTRODUCTION
Dependency on computer and information technology is increasing day by day. Individual person, small
and large businesses and government offices are using different online and offline technologies to store
data. These stored data can be normal day-to-day personal or business data or can be highly secured
private and confidential data. This data storage and exchange is attracting cyber criminals to make cyber
