Humanoid Threats

Security for the age of physical AI

About Humanoid Threats

Humanoid robots are moving from stage demos into factories, warehouses, hospitals and homes. Each one is a networked computer with cameras, microphones, arms and legs, and a direct line to the physical world. That makes humanoid security a new discipline: when a robot is compromised, the consequences are physical, not just digital.

What we cover

  • News: incidents, disclosed vulnerabilities, funding, regulation and standards affecting humanoid robots and physical AI.
  • Analysis: attack surfaces, threat models and how defenses are evolving.
  • Glossary: plain-English definitions of the terms that matter.
  • Q&A: direct answers to the questions people are asking about robot safety and security.
  • Guides: practical steps for teams deploying humanoids.

Our approach

We cite primary sources (research papers, vendor advisories, CVE records and regulators) and link to them. When something is uncertain or speculative, we say so. Corrections are welcome: if you spot an error, let us know and we will fix it.
