At the technological level, WISeRobot is being designed from the ground up with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) embedded directly into its hardware and software architecture. Secure and post-quantum–ready chips provide cryptographic roots of trust that protect the robot’s identity, communications, decision processes, and software integrity against both classical and future quantum attacks. This ensures that trust, accountability, and privacy are not add-ons, but intrinsic properties of the robot throughout its entire lifecycle.

Beyond security, the project places human values at the center of robotic intelligence. WISeRobot is conceived as a value-aware system in which principles such as dignity, fairness, compassion, justice, transparency, and respect for privacy are translated into concrete technical mechanisms. These include value-aligned datasets, human-in-the-loop and human-in-command training models, explainable decision pathways, and enforceable ethical constraints that guide autonomous behavior in real-world environments.

A key dimension of the WISeRobot Project is verifiable identity and accountability. Each robot is endowed with a secure digital identity, enabling traceability of actions, authenticated interactions with humans and other machines, and compliance with regulatory and ethical frameworks. This identity framework ensures that responsibility remains clearly attributable and that human oversight is preserved at all times.

The project also serves as a living laboratory for governance and policy innovation. WISeRobot is designed to support emerging international standards and regulatory approaches for trustworthy AI and robotics, aligning with global efforts such as the HUMAN-AI-T initiative to establish an ethical “constitution for AI” rooted in centuries of human wisdom and universal values.

Ultimately, the WISeRobot Project aims to demonstrate that the future of robotics does not have to choose between performance and principles. By combining post-quantum security, secure digital identity, and value-centric AI, WISeRobot seeks to set a global reference for how intelligent robots can be powerful, resilient, and economically valuable—while remaining fundamentally human-aligned, trustworthy, and respectful of human dignity.
