Swarm Robotics and the Role of Blockchain
Blockchain is a decentralized method of recording transactions and allowing communication between different entities on a network. Everyone on the network has access to the entire network and its history. The transactions or actions performed are impossible to tamper, alter or falsify for anyone. Thus, the major advantages of a blockchain are transparency and security. We have taken a bird’s eye view of blockchain in previous blogs; now, we shall look at a very specific field of application – Swarm Robotics. We shall try to understand what Swarm Robotics entails, its applications, and how Blockchain is aiding its development. What is Swarm Robotics? The dictionary definition of swarm states that…

Reasons why manufacturing industries should choose blockchain
In the last blog, we understood what blockchain is at a broad level. Now, let’s see what it brings to the table for manufacturing companies. We shall look at 8 major reasons why manufacturers should adopt blockchain. If you are a manufacturer, read carefully! Hope you like it. Transparency With evolving technologies, an increasing number of processes in manufacturing are going digital and becoming a huge source of data. And resultantly, transparency in sharing of data is becoming an important issue. All the stakeholders must have equal access to data. In a blockchain, all the network participants share the same data and it can be updated only through the consensus…
