Abstract
Described herein is a technique that provides a first robot associated with a first trust domain to identify and authenticate a second robot associated with a second trust domain. The identification and authentication technique described herein is based on a robot processing a variety of input signals obtained via sensors, in order to generate robot identification information that can be compared with known or trusted information. Advantageously, the identification technique occurs locally, for example, at the robot and at the location of the robot-to-robot interaction, eliminating any requirement for communicating with an authoritative remote or cloud-based service, at the time and place of the robot-to-robot interaction.
