39th Chaos Communication Congress (39C3): Power Cycles · Day 2 · Saal One
This talk, "Skynet Starter Kit: From Embodied AI Jailbreak to Remote Takeover of Humanoid Robots," delivered by the Dark Navy team at 39C3, presents a comprehensive security analysis of modern humanoid robots, specifically focusing on the Unitree G1. The speakers, Shipei Qu, Zikai Xu, and Xuangan Xiao, highlight a critical gap in the security posture of these rapidly evolving machines. As major tech companies like Tesla push forward with mass production of humanoid robots, the talk underscores a concerning lack of attention to security by both vendors and end-users, despite historical public fears about autonomous machines.
