Part 6/11:
Security and Trust in Humanoid Robots
As Optimus integrates into domestic spaces, security becomes a major concern. Omar emphasizes that cybersecurity is primarily a software issue—not where the hardware is manufactured. Protecting robots from hacking involves robust software design, encryption, and cryptography, just as with smartphones or computers. Since AI inference occurs locally on the device (onboard compute), the risk of remote interference is minimized.
