    Il contributo, a due anni dalla controversa Legge Balduzzi, si ripropone di ripercorrerne tutte le tappe interpretative, mettendone in luce gli aspetti di persistente criticità

    Non solo imperizia: la Cassazione amplia l'orizzonte applicativo della Legge Balduzzi

    No full text
    Si tratta di una nota a due sentenze della IV Sezione della Corte di Cassazione che, seppur attraverso percorsi diversi, ampliano l'orizzonte applicativo della Legge Balduzzi, rendendo l'esimente ivi prevista anche alle ipotesi di negligenza ed imprudenza

    Performance optimization on Manufacturing Systems: an hybrid systems approach

    No full text
    In this paper we present a novel formulation for analysis and performance optimization of flexible manufacturing systems. We approximately represent the dynamics of the system with an hybrid model and derive an optimum control strategy for part routing and machine scheduling. We show that the system can be described with a single formalism as a stochastic discrete-time, time-varying, state variable model which allows fast and direct design of the system configuration

    Detecting Insecure Code Patterns in Industrial Robot Programs

    No full text
    Key to modern smart manufacturing, industrial robots are complex and customizable machines that can be programmed in a variety of ways. In addition to the “teach by showing” paradigm, most vendors provide domain-specific programming languages to operate the robots with high precision. Besides movement instructions, such fully fledged programming languages provide access to low-level system resources like files and network. Although useful, these features create venues for unsafe programming patterns, which could lead to taint-style vulnerabilities or malware-like functionalities. In this paper, we analyze the programming languages of 8 leading industrial robot vendors, systematize their technical features, and discuss cases of vulnerable and malicious uses. We then describe the source-code analysis tool that we created to analyze robotic programs, and discover unsafe uses of programming primitives.We focused our proof-of-concept implementation on two popular languages (i.e., ABB’s RAPID and KUKA’s KRL), and evaluated it on a dataset of publicly available programs. Our results show that unsafe patterns are indeed found in real-world code, and that static source code analysis is an effective vetting mechanism, for example to prevent commissioning unsafe or malicious robotic programs. We conclude by discussing the remediation steps that can be adopted by developers and vendors to mitigate such issues in the medium and long term
