What do you mean by physical AI security?
Here it means cybersecurity for robots and their connected AI applications: the data they collect, the services they use and the permissions around control. Our starting point is a defined humanoid or robot-dog deployment. Other platforms are assessed individually.
Is this a full robot security audit or safety certification?
Our initial service is a scoped cybersecurity and deployment review, with the systems, methods and exclusions agreed in writing. It does not provide functional safety certification, regulatory certification or a guarantee that a robot is secure. Firmware exploitation, hardware security testing and physical safety assessment require separate specialist scope and capability.
Can the review be done remotely?
Architecture, documentation, source code and selected application or configuration reviews may be possible remotely. Hardware-dependent findings need agreed access and test arrangements. The report distinguishes what was observed, what was supplied by others and what could not be verified.
Will tests make the robot move or affect a live event?
Testing is agreed before work begins, including ownership permission, systems in scope and stop conditions. Application tests start in an isolated or simulated environment where appropriate. Live motion and disruptive testing are outside the initial review unless separately scoped with suitable expertise and controls. Simulation results do not establish physical safety.
Can you review an application that Kinbotix built?
Yes, as a development security review with our involvement disclosed. Independent assurance needs a separately appointed assessor. We can scope implementation of agreed fixes and a subsequent retest; neither should be represented as independent certification.
How do you scope and price the work?
Start with the robot model and firmware, connected applications, deployment environment and decision you need to make. We confirm access, required expertise, review criteria, deliverables, limitations and price before agreeing the work. Remediation and retesting are itemised where included.
