What other measures are employed to secure our LeoBots?

  1. Identification and Authentication – Through a central service
  2. Encryption for Data at motion (TLS) and Data at rest (AES256)
  3. Roles Based Access Control (“RBAC”)
    • Controlled privileges and separation of duties to segregate user groups
    • The administrator has control, ensuring consistency in best practices
    • 2 Factor Authentication required to access robot
  4. Audit Log
    • Centralized logging of all user activity – Valid and invalid attempts
      (e.g. Logging in and out of the LionsCloud, changing of passwords)
    • Perpetrator, source, type, and time of events are recorded
  5. Defense against common vulnerabilities (OWSAP Top 10)

Are LeoBots vulnerable to someone attempting to tamper with it?

With all our precautions, worst case scenarios of people with malicious intent are far and few between, but it is still highly recommended that a local operator keeps an eye on our LeoBots while they clean in the event of intentional tampering.

This is a general precaution with any device working in public spaces and is not unique to our LeoBots.

Does LionsBot use public data centers?

We’ve partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for secure Command Centre hosting. AWS has been awarded ISO 27001 certification—a security management standard which defines best practices and comprehensive security controls, and it is those best practices that we followed in designing our LionsCloud.

Where is the data captured by our LeoBots stored?

We capture performance data and limited video data, stored on the LeoBot’s internal hard drive. In addition, we also send additional data to the LionsCloud for live updates on robot position, status, and more. We are happy to discuss alternative options if required, to comply with corporate IT policies or regulatory requirements.

How do LeoBots navigate?

LeoBot uses state-of-the-art SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology to allow precise localisation—a process of determining where a LeoBot is located with respect to its environment.

When a LeoBot is deployed to new worksite, the worksite will be mapped so that a fully-customizable cleaning plan and navigation behaviour can be generated. This will be the master plan for the LeoBot, serving as a constant reference point to ensure cleaning efficiency.

With an onboard sensor network and an AI mapping system, our LeoBots will adaptively update its semantic map, a multi-layered map that stores 2D worksite features and 3D tracked obstacle lists—allowing for life-long deployment, regardless of worksite feature changes. Adaptive semantic mapping also allows for robust and accurate localisation performance, and real-time cleaning paths to be generated, achieving maximum cleaning coverage at all times.

Are LeoBots able to detect and avoid obstacles and people?

Yes, very much so! With the LionsBot AI system, our LeoBots can perceive the surrounding objects, detecting and recognising human and non-human objects, while avoiding dangerous environments such as staircases, escalators, uneven floors, etc. The smart active tracking system is able to understand and assess if an obstacle is stationary or moving, able to effectively predict the movement trajectory, allowing for reactive dynamic obstacle avoidance.

With the help of fused sensory information from onboard sensors, LeoBots are able to detect any obstacles in its cleaning path from as low as 15 cm from the ground. With an accurate detection system and precise navigation control, LeoBots are able to plan an avoidance path closely around the obstacle, navigating confidently without collision.
