Maliciously Manipulating a Robotic Swarm

摘要

Most contemporary research in the field of robotic swarms assumes a benign operational environment. In our work we assume a hostile environment. We consider how swarms might be attacked and begin with a review of robotic swarm taxonomies. We then consider how a generic swarm might be attacked, and how attacks on swarms might be investigated. We conclude by presenting results of simulations of attacks that have been undertaken against swarms, based the robotic swarm taxonomies.
