A Blockchain Framework for Equitable and Secure Task Allocation in Robot Swarms

Hanqing Zhao, Alexandre Pacheco, Giovanni Beltrame, Xue Liu, Marco Dorigo, Gregory Dudek

ICRA 2026poster

Recent studies demonstrate the potential of blockchain to enable robots in a swarm to achieve secure consensus about the environment, particularly when robots are homogeneous and perform identical tasks. Typically, robots receive rewards for their contributions to consensus achievement, but no studi…

A Generic Framework for Byzantine-Tolerant Consensus Achievement in Robot Swarms

Hanqing Zhao, Alexandre Pacheco, Volker Strobel, Andreagiovanni Reina, Xue Liu, Gregory Dudek +1

IROS 2023poster

Recent studies show that some security features that blockchains grant to decentralized networks on the internet can be ported to swarm robotics. Although the integration of blockchain technology and swarm robotics shows great promise, thus far, research has been limited to proof-of-concept scenario…
