Researchers at the University of Washington say it’s time to start paying some serious attention to the question of robot security.

They’re afraid of a world where hackers can take control of the robots we’ve brought into our homes. Researchers: As more sophisticated robots come online, they could be misused in ways that their designers have not foreseen.”]
