A SURVEY OF ROS SECURITY

ABSTRACT– Lately, the Robot Operating System (ROS) has gained more and more popularity among robotic software. Its community has been increasingly active and expanding further and farther. By using a straightforward distributed framework ROS becomes very convenient on the data exchange, but its communications could be easily interfered. Because robots have the ability to directly interact with the outer world, their security issues must be taken very seriously. This paper is a detailed research and an overview on security of ROS 1.x, its vulnerabilities and reliability issues. Additionally, we describe possible security solutions and recommend some of the best practices to get past this concern.
