Introduction
Hi! My name is Alexandre and I am a PhD student at IRIDIA, the Artificial Intelligence research laboratory of the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
Research
Bitcoin sucessfully translated the social concept of value and currency from the physical world to the digital realm. This means that for the first time in history, humans and machines can transfer value between them without the necessity of a third party mediator. I believe that hiring a robot to perform a task, or, conversely, being hired by a robot to service it could be norms in society within the next few decades.
In my research I am looking to introduce the technologies and ideals used by Blockchain projects to the fields of Robot Swarms and Control Engineering. I seek to present a blockchain control mechanism which allows humans (or robots) to influence swarm decisions using on-chain transactions.
