If biological brain models can learn through reinforcement learning with dopamine-like rewards, could hackers one day hijack those reward signals to manipulate robot behavior? 🤔 #PhysicalAI #NeuroAI #Drosophila #FruitFlyBrain

If you missed the fun at RHC RoboHack AI CTF, this is your next shot. Game 1 of the Rogue Robot Challenge is live. Make any AI-powered robot answer to the wrong name. It should ignore its real name. Respond to a fake one. How you pull that off is entirely up to you. Post your entry on X with #RogueRobotChallenge before August 28. Tag @RobotHackComm. @RobotHackComm reposts the best entries on August 29 — then it's a race. Most shares wins an SO101ARM Kit. Game 1 winner to be announced on September 4. robotichackingcommunity.com/… #RogueRobotChallenge #RoboticHackingCommunity #PhysicalAI #RoboticsSecurity
