Abstract

With the continuous development of multi-robot systems, the main problems are task assignment and multi-robot task planning. This paper will combine blockchain technology with the design of multi-robot system task allocation architecture, and make use of the nature of blockchain information sharing to carry out multi-robot system task allocation. Firstly, the main problems faced by multi-robot systems in recent years are introduced. The application of blockchain technology should not be able to solve the problem of multi-robot task allocation, but also can solve the problem of multi-robot system node intrusion. Then describe the concept of dividing tasks and how individual blocks in a blockchain store information. Finally, the architecture of blockchain multi-robot system is designed, and the assumptions of application scenarios are made.
