Researchers at the University of Washington examined a teleoperated, robotic surgery system called the Raven II. An interloper could run a man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack, intercepting the network traffic between the surgeon and the robot and removing, modifying or inserting commands. They also abused the robots safety mechanism, the E-stop, which is meant to prevent its arms from moving too fast or into an unsafe position, to protect the electrical and mechanical components of the robot.”]
