Robot Safety Systems Face a New Risk: False Inputs
Original: Your Robot’s Safety Functions Already Work. What If the Input Lies?
Robotics safety experts are highlighting a gap in industrial robot safety: while emergency stops, light curtains and other protective functions work as designed, they all depend on sensor inputs that can be wrong. If a sensor is spoofed, miscalibrated or deliberately fed false data, a robot may act on information that no longer matches reality. Commentators argue the industry should focus on validating inputs, not just the safety logic that processes them, as robots share space with humans.
Why now: Debate over whether safety-rated robots can be trusted when the sensor data feeding their safety systems is inaccurate or manipulated
