1. Fight planned obsolescence in robotics Similar to Ford in the 1920s, several robot manufacturers apply planned obsolescence practices today in an attempt to discourage repairs and evade competition. Through teardown, we study the hardware architectures of robots and show indicators of obsolescence. 2. Call for a Right to Repair in robotics We advocate against the business priorities set in industry to avoid repairs and planned obsolescence. Instead, we advocate for a Right to Repair in robotics as a means to recycle robots and robot components across use-cases. Repair is good for manufacturers, good for the economy, and good for the rest of us. 3. Advocate against robot e-waste We need to make robots that last longer and whose components can be recycled. Unless we react now, robot e-waste will be as toxic as the res of the electronics of our Digital Age. 4. Product evaluation and benchmarking Benchmarking robots nowadays isn't an easy job. Specially when it comes to relevant aspects affecting how we interact with these machines. We tear them down to research safety, security and quality aspects, while benchmarking their hardware against similar products.
Alias Robotics is a robot cyber security firm. Founded upon previous experiences in robotics, we take a roboticists' approach to cyber security and deliver security solutions for robots and their components.
