    As more and more industrial robots come online, there's an ever greater risk of hackers gaining access to them and taking control of their abilities. In some cases that could mean damage to a product or manufacturing flow, but in other cases, it could result in harm to nearby humans. That's why researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing a robot that can alert users to an ongoing breach and trick hackers into thinking they have control of their target.
