System And Method For Providing Security For Robots

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a security system for robots. The security system comprises a lock located on a platform, configured to restrict power supply to a plurality of actuators of a robotic arm, a key configured to release the lock for providing power supply to the plurality of actuators and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to restrict power supply to the robotic arm by initiating the lock, relocate the lock to a random location on the platform, generate an encrypted code based on the random location of the lock and a time-stamp and provide the encrypted code to the control unit for decryption. Upon decryption, the control unit configures the lock to supply power to the plurality of actuators. The plurality of actuators operates the robotic arm to pick the key and release the lock for supplying power to the plurality of actuators. Figure 1

Specification

Claims:We claim:

1. A security system for robots, comprising:
a lock located on a platform, configured to restrict power supply to a plurality of actuators of a robotic arm;
a key placed at, a predefined location, at a predefined distance from the robotic arm configured to release the lock for providing power supply to the plurality of actuators; and
a processing unit, configured to:
restrict power supply to the robotic arm by initiating the lock, when the robotic arm is initiated by a control unit configured to control the plurality of actuators;
relocate the lock to a random location on the platform;
generate an encrypted code based on the random location of the lock and a time-stamp; and
provide the encrypted code to the control unit for decryption, wherein upon decryption, the control unit configures the lock to supply power to the plurality of actuators, wherein the plurality of actuators operates the robotic arm to pick the key and release the lock for supplying power to the plurality of actuators.

2. The security system as claimed in claim 1, further comprises a power supply for supplying power to the plurality of actuators robotic arm through the lock.

3. The security system as claimed in claim 1, further comprises a lock actuator to relocate the lock to a random location on the platform.

4. The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of actuators is configured to operate a predefined portion of the robotic arm.

5. A control unit for providing security for robots, configured to:
initiate a plurality of actuators of a robotic arm, wherein upon initiation, a processing unit associated with the control unit is configured to:
initiate a lock located on a platform to restrict power to the robotic arm;
relocate the lock to a random location on the platform;
generate an encrypted code based on the random location of the lock and a time-stamp;
decrypt the encrypted code for determining the random location of the lock;
configure the lock to supply power to at least one actuator among the plurality of actuators of the robotic arm; and
instruct the at least one actuator to operate the robotic arm to pick a key placed at a predefined located, at a predefined distance from the robotic arm, to release the lock for providing power supply to the plurality of actuators.

6. The control unit as claimed in claim 5, wherein the plurality of actuators of the robotic arm is supplied with power by a power source through the lock.

7. The control unit as claimed in claim 5, wherein the lock is relocated by a lock actuator associated with the processing unit.

8. The control unit as claimed in claim 5, wherein each of the plurality of actuators is configured to operate a predefined portion of the robotic arm.

9. A method for providing security for robots, comprising:
initiating, by a control unit, a plurality of actuators of a robotic arm, wherein upon initiation, a processing unit associated with the control unit is configured to:
initiate a lock located on a platform to restrict power to the robotic arm;
relocate the lock to a random location on the platform;
generate an encrypted code based on the random location of the lock and a time-stamp;
decrypting, by the control unit, the encrypted code for determining the random location of the lock;
configuring, by the control unit, the lock to supply power to at least one actuator among the plurality of actuators of the robotic arm; and
instructing, by the control unit, the at least one actuator to operate the robotic arm to pick a key placed at a predefined located, at a predefined distance from the robotic arm, to release the lock for providing power supply to the plurality of actuators.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the plurality of actuators of the robotic arm is supplied with power through the lock.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the lock is relocated by a lock actuator associated with the processing unit.
