I can help you but not for free!
In our latest @IRIDIA_ULB study in @SciReports we show how we can incentivise cooperation in swarms of self-interested robots🤖 through a blockchain-based market where robots buy and sell information💸

📄 Hot off the press!
Robot #swarms maintain #blockchain networks and a blockchain-based token economy to neutralize the destructive actions of #Byzantine robots.

A recent work in @SciRobotics by @volkerstrob, A. Pacheco, and @MarcoDorigo_ULB.
Congratulations to Volker Strobel (@Pold1987) who just defended his PhD thesis "Blockchain-based Smart Contracts for the Secure Coordination of Robot Swarms". Great job Dr. Strobel!

2nd Robotics session, chaired by @Pold1987!
"On the Effects of Minimally Invasive Collision Avoidance on an Emergent Behavior"
C. Taylor, A. Siebold, C. Nowzari
Collision avoidance is often assumed to be an add-on, but can cause unexpected interference

"A Blockchain-Controlled Physical Robot Swarm Communicating via an Ad-Hoc Network"
A. Pacheco, @Pold1987, @MarcoDorigo_ULB
Proves blockchain is feasible and warranted in real robot swarms,
& a blockchain security layer neutralizes faulty/malicious robots
