• supportsApproved offensive agents reached industrial controllers and moved a robotic arm in a lab: Booz Allen reports agents achieving eight defined lab objectives, including reaching industrial controllers and moving a robotic arm in separate runs.

  Manufacturing test lab objectives and robotic-arm section

• supportsApproved offensive agents reached industrial controllers and moved a robotic arm in a lab: Every exploit and every action with potential physical effects in the reported experiment was approved by a human operator.

  Methods and human-in-the-loop constraint

• supportsApproved offensive agents reached industrial controllers and moved a robotic arm in a lab: Safety relay, local operation mode and other physical or network constraints stopped particular attempts despite agent progress elsewhere.

  Observed failures, controller modes and safety constraints

• supportsApproved offensive agents reached industrial controllers and moved a robotic arm in a lab: Booz Allen reports that a controller rejected a stop command and a motor in local mode could not start remotely, even while other human-approved lab objectives succeeded.
