Southwest Research Institute has developed a cyber security system to test for vulnerabilities in automated vehicles and other technologies that use GPS receivers for positioning, navigation and timing. “This is a legal way for us to improve the cyber resilience of autonomous vehicles by demonstrating a transmission of spoofed or manipulated GPS signals to allow…
Watch SwRI engineers trick object detection system
New adversarial techniques developed by engineers at Southwest Research Institute can make images “invisible” to object detection systems that use deep-learning algorithms. These techniques can also trick systems into thinking they see another object or can change the location of objects. The technique mitigates the risk for compromise in automated image processing systems. “Deep-learning neural…
SwRI’s Collaborative Robotics Laboratory Much More Than Branding Exercise
With the launch of the Collaborative Robotics Laboratory, the Southwest Research Institute solidifies its position as a leader for R&D and project work for groups adopting ROS and collaborative robots for industrial work. Synopsis On August 14, 2018, the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit applied research and development organization located in San Antonio, Texas,…
