When embodied AI is compromised, the breach moves in the physical world
Uvy virtualizes a copy of your embodied AI's software brain, then attacks the message bus, the fleet and teleop backends, and the update chain, safely, without ever touching a live machine. Proof before it ships into a human space.
The attack surface that ends in motion
We attack it, then we make it hold.
Every proven attack becomes a hardening task and a watch. Red team finds the way in; blue team closes it and makes sure it stays closed.
Uvy virtualizes a copy of your embodied AI's software brain, then attacks it end to end, so a dangerous test costs nothing and never touches a real machine.
- Message-bus attacks
ROS 2, DDS, and RTPS: unauthenticated topics, SROS 2 misconfiguration, discovery and topology leaks, and the transport weaknesses that let an attacker onto the bus.
- Actuation takeover
Reach the command channel and make the machine act: the class of finding where the impact is measured in motion, not data.
- Sensor spoofing
Feed false perception, camera, range, and position, to fool the model and slip past the safety logic that trusts it.
- Fleet, teleop, and companion apps
The cloud and API backends that command the embodied AI, Uvy's core craft today, where an IDOR or a broken auth check controls a physical device.
- The update chain
Unsigned or tamperable over-the-air firmware, the single path that turns one compromised machine into the whole fleet.
- Safety-system bypass
Defeat the interlocks and limits that are supposed to make the machine safe around people, the finding that matters most.
Every attack becomes a hardening task and an independent attestation, the kind your buyers and insurers are beginning to require.
- Test without the physical machine
Because we attack a virtualized copy of the brain, testing is safe, continuous, and runs at scale, with no live embodied AI required.
- Bus and identity hardening
SROS 2 done correctly: authenticated and encrypted transport, least-privilege topics, and revocation that actually revokes.
- Fleet and update integrity
Signed updates, scoped fleet credentials, and monitoring, so a foothold on one device stays on one device.
- Safety-case attestation
Independent, offensive proof of the software's security posture, for the buyers, insurers, and regulators now asking for it.
- Continuous re-testing
Every firmware release and fleet change is re-attacked, so security keeps pace with a product that ships updates over the air.
- Standards alignment
Findings mapped to the frameworks that govern connected physical products, so the report is evidence, not just a list.
The embodied AI's software brain, end to end
The transferable web and cloud surface, plus the protocol and embedded layer that is unique to embodied AI.
Aligned to the rules coming for connected machines
So a Uvy attestation stands up to procurement, insurers, and the regulators writing embodied-AI security requirements now.
Proof before embodied AI ships into a human space
A report on the brain
The exploitable paths through your embodied AI's software, from the message bus to the fleet backend, each proven, not asserted.
Testing that is safe by construction
We attack a virtual copy, so the dangerous tests, the ones that move an actuator or defeat a safety limit, run safely and at no cost.
Independent attestation
Offensive, third-party proof of your posture, which is what buyers and insurers are starting to require to let embodied AI into their space.
Hardening your team can ship
The exact fixes across bus, fleet, and update chain, verified against the same attacks that broke them.
Continuous coverage
Embodied systems update over the air constantly. Uvy re-tests on that cadence, not once at certification.
Human in the loop
You set scope and approve escalations. The exhaustive adversarial work is ours; the calls that matter stay yours.
How do you test embodied AI without a physical robot?
+
Uvy virtualizes a copy of the embodied AI's software brain, the ROS 2 message bus, the fleet and teleop backends, and the update chain, then attacks that copy end to end. The dangerous tests, the ones that move an actuator or defeat a safety limit, run safely and at no cost, with no live machine at risk.
What does Uvy test on an embodied AI system?
+
The ROS 2, DDS, and RTPS message bus, the actuation and command channels, sensor and perception inputs, the cloud fleet and teleop backends, the over-the-air update chain, and the safety interlocks that keep the machine safe around people.
Which standards does an embodied AI attestation map to?
+
Findings map to IEC 62443, the ROS 2 threat model, NIST guidance, and safety-case evidence, so a Uvy attestation stands up to procurement, insurers, and the regulators writing embodied-AI security requirements.
