Abstract

This conceptual paper overviews how blockchain technology is involving the operation of multi-robot collaboration for combating COVID-19 and future pandemics. Robots are a promising technology for providing many tasks such as spraying, disinfection, cleaning, treating, detecting high body temperature/mask absence, and delivering goods and medical supplies experiencing an epidemic COVID-19. For combating COVID-19, many heterogeneous and homogenous robots are required to perform different tasks for supporting different purposes in the quarantine area. Managmnt and decentralizing multi-robot play a vital role in combating COVID-19 by reducing human interaction, monitoring, delivering goods. Blockchain technology can manage multi-robot collaboration in a decentralized fashion, improve the interaction among them to exchange information, share representation, share goals, and trust. We highlight the challenges and provide the tactical solutions enabled by integrating blockchain and multi-robot collaboration to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed conceptual framework can increase the intelligence, decentralization, and autonomous operations of connected multi-robot collaboration in the blockchain network. We overview blockchain potential benefits to defining a framework of multi-robot collaboration applications to combat COVID-19 epidemics such as monitoring and outdoor and hospital End to End (E2E) delivery systems. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of integrated blockchain, multi-robot collaboration, and the Internet of Things (IoT) for combating COVID-19 and future pandemics.

摘要

这篇概念性论文概述了区块链技术如何应用于多机器人协作抗击新冠疫情及未来大流行的运作中。机器人是一种很有前景的技术,可用于执行多项任务,如喷雾、消毒、清洁、治疗、检测高温/未戴口罩情况,以及在新冠疫情期间运送货物和医疗用品。为抗击新冠疫情,需要许多异构和同构机器人在隔离区执行不同任务以支持不同目的。管理和分散多机器人在抗击新冠疫情中发挥着至关重要的作用,可减少人际互动、进行监测和运送货物。区块链技术能够以去中心化方式管理多机器人协作,改善它们之间的互动,以交换信息、共享表示、共享目标并建立信任。我们强调了挑战,并提供了通过整合区块链和多机器人协作来抗击新冠疫情的战术解决方案。所提出的概念框架可以提高区块链网络中连接的多机器人协作的智能性、去中心化程度和自主运行能力。我们概述了区块链的潜在好处,以定义一个多机器人协作应用框架来抗击新冠疫情,如监测以及户外和医院的端到端(E2E)配送系统。此外,我们还讨论了整合区块链、多机器人协作和物联网(IoT)抗击新冠疫情及未来大流行所面临的挑战和机遇。
