Key points

  • Manipulated visual, audio, or message inputs can change robot behavior while the assigned task stays the same
  • Independent protective systems also rely on inputs that may be misled by the same manipulation
  • Redundant sensors need adversarial testing because one action may affect several inputs
  • Safety evidence should cover manipulated-input scenarios and be revisited as software, models, and sensors change
