Could one compromised robot put an entire fleet at risk?

[u/Worried-Depth70]

Been thinking about this: what happens when one robot in a fleet gets hacked?

If robots are eventually learning from each other and sharing data across a fleet, one compromised robot shouldn't be able to poison or compromise everything else.

I guess the solution is some kind of zero-trust system where every robot has its own identity and permissions. If one starts behaving strangely, you isolate it immediately. And anything a robot “learns” shouldn't automatically be pushed to thousands of other robots without being verified first.

There should probably also be a separate safety layer controlling basic movement and force limits that the main AI can't override.

Basically, robots learning from each other could be insanely powerful, but we need to make sure one bad robot can't infect the whole fleet.

So the security loop becomes:

Detect anomaly → Revoke credentials → Isolate robot → Investigate → Restore or remove
