This paper proposes a hybridized blockchain model-based architecture (HBMA) for multi-robot systems (MRS) in ROS, ensuring secure communication by detecting and shutting down malicious robots. The architecture supports secure multi-robot localization and path planning, validated on physical robots and ROS simulations.
