Autonomous vehicles (aerial, ground, underwater, etc) are going to invest in
the
human environment and due to their characteristics, they are natural candidates
to integrate the Internet of Things (IoT). By including autonomous vehicles
into
IoT, it will be possible to compose the Internet of Mobile Things (IoMoT),
which
introduces new opportunities and challenges. IoMoT raises challenges related to
scalability, group control, synchronization, power consumption, limited
embedded
resources and limited action time so an important turnover. Considering the
required multidisciplinary in the development of embedded systems and that all
these dimensions introduce manifold security and safety issues, this talk will
focus on security considering the global future IoMoT context outlining some
research opportunities and challenges brought by the insertion of Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into IoMoT and an overview of efforts in research and
innovation in Embedded Systems in Critical Embedded System Laboratory at USP.
