==Project Description==
 
−
 
−
Several industries, such as healthcare and hospitality, are investigating the benefits of using social and service robots to cover some of their customers' needs. For example, a robot could interact with an older adult to decrease the feeling of loneliness or a robot could deliver items such as food or towels to a hotel guest. Successful deployment of social and service robots will likely lead to the introduction of more robotic units in the facility resulting in the formation of a swarm.
 
−
 
−
The objective of this project is to develop techniques that detect a hacked robot in the context of a small swarm (three to four robots). The project will focus on two types of abnormal robot behavior:
 
−
 
−
* The robot's location is different from the location it should have. This type of abnormality includes the robot spending significantly more or less time at a location that it was supposed to visit.
 
−
* The robot's psychological impact on the customer is negative.
