Abstract

In this paper a new application of the distributed ledger technology is proposed. The swarm robotics is a rapidly developing area due to the numerous advantages of the swarm. Yet there can be situations when some additional functional tasks should be relocated from one robot to another, for example, if there is a need to offload one of the robots. For such resource allocation tasks the robot reliability must be taken into account. This causes the importance of the robot workload logging in the swarm, because it is not sufficient to take into account the current workload to estimate the reliability level. In the paper the technique of the distributed-ledger-based workload logging is presented as well as information propagation methods are considered and the peculiarities of the robot swarm has been taken into account.
