3.2 Privacy Gaps

Data is at the core of robotics, but the way it is handled today exposes critical vulnerabilities. Robots rely on cameras, sensors, GPS, and telemetry to execute tasks. Most verification processes require exposing this raw data to centralized servers or human operators to confirm job completion.

For enterprises, this creates a severe risk. Sensitive environments such as factories, warehouses, and healthcare facilities cannot afford to leak operational layouts, patient data, or security configurations. Individuals face similar concerns: domestic robots like vacuum cleaners, delivery bots, or drones may capture images of personal spaces and inadvertently share them.

Centralized handling of this data creates honeypots for hackers and opens the door for surveillance and misuse. This privacy gap erodes trust, slows adoption, and discourages organizations and individuals from engaging with robotics platforms at scale.
