Are you afraid of being hacked? Honeybot can save you.

This HoneyBot is a four-wheeled decoy robot which fools the hackers by making them think they have successfully exploited a functional factory machine. The HoneyBot is based on the concept of Honeypots(A honeypot is a computer system that is set up to act as a decoy to lure cyberattackers and to detect, deflect or study attempts to gain unauthorized access to information systems). See the video below to know how HoneyBot Works!!

By using false sensor data, the HoneyBot pretends to be a functional factory robot, tricking hackers into setting HoneyBot as a target. Once hacked, the HoneyBot can digitally stimulate unsafe actions while physically performing safe ones. For Hackers, the bot's system response will look like the robot is following their unsafe actions but in reality, the honeybot continues on its safe path, as hackers mess around with the false system, they leave behind valuable data so companies can use to secure the network quite safe.

This HoneyBot exactly follows the line using Line Follower Array Sensor.You might have known about this sensor and the concept of line follower as well as how to code it if you have completed our Advance Level. And also they are using Ultrasonic Sensor for obstacle detection, you might have learned this concept in the Expert Level.

Isn't it amazing that we can also build mini HoneyBot with our Kits in Advance Level and the Expert Level?Build more honeybots :P like this :)
