Robot identification manager

A computer program product identifying a robotic device, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable tangible storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions readable/executable by one or more computer processors and further comprising:
• program instructions to receive an authentication request for an unknown robotic device asserting to be a first robotic device;
• program instructions to receive a first identification dataset for the first robotic device from an output of a neural network;
• program instructions to issue an identification action to the unknown robotic device;
• program instructions to generate a second identification dataset for the unknown robotic device based upon a response to the identification action received from the unknown robotic device;
• program instructions to incorporate a tolerance factor for determining whether the unknown robotic device is the first robotic device, the tolerance factor corresponding to a number of matches between the first identification dataset and the second identification dataset;
• based on the number of matches between the first identification dataset and the second identification dataset agreeing with the tolerance factor, program instructions to determine, that the unknown robotic device is the first robotic device;
• and
• program instructions to authenticate the unknown robotic device in response to determining that the unknown robotic device is the first robotic device.
