Blockchain Technology with Applications to Distributed Control and Cooperative Robotics

Abstract

Various advantages of blockchain include decentralisation, persistence, anonymity, and auditability. Numerous researchers are now interested in distributed control systems that facilitate coordinated and cooperative autonomy as a result of the rising market for robotics. The fields of distributed control and cooperative robotics have constantly faced unsolvable issues with safety and distributed communication. Blockchain innovation has recently been recognized in this setting as a viable technique to solve several of the above problems, including the recognition of malicious nodes, malfunction in process automation, non-compliance with the established standards and privacy protections, safety strikes on robotic, and lack of clarity in measuring performance and audits. This research aims to offer a pathway for newcomers to enter this study area by providing a comprehensive image of blockchain technology’s operating principle and important components in the terminology of management and robotics. Blockchain innovation holds out hope for a comprehensive resolution to this issue and offers a comprehensive review of the system in the form of tutorials. The importance of blockchain in various robotics application cases is then examined. The approaches for future study that can lead to breakthroughs and successful blockchain incorporation in the robotics industry are then highlighted.
