【Abstract】Due to the development of robot technology, smart autonomous multi-robot systems face different security problems such as data loss and vulnerabilities. However, the robot information stored in blockchain can be more transparent and effective at ensuring the security of the robot system due to the decentralization, tamper-proof and anonymity of block chain. In the architectural composition of blockchain, Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism is playing a critical role with more decentralization, lower energy consumption and faster confirmation speed. Similar to the board voting, the holders cast a certain number of delegates to perform verification and block generating on their behalf in DPoS. In order to improve the efficiency and flexibility of DPoS consensus mechanism, we propose an improved DPoS consensus mechanism based on the Probabilistic Linguistic Term Set (PLTS) for the smart autonomous multi-robot system. By adding voting options for nodes, the Voting Algorithm with Probabilistic Linguistic Information (VAPLI) calculates the score and deviation degree of each node after tabulating the voting results. The selection of a delegate is based on the comparison of the score and deviation degree. Finally, we explore the model implementation of the improved DPoS consensus mechanism, and verify its feasibility and effectiveness using examples. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
