We study the convergence problem in fully asynchronous, uni-dimensional robot networks that are prone to Byzantine (i.e. malicious) failures. In these settings, oblivious anonymous robots with arbitrary initial positions are required to…
We propose the first deterministic algorithm that tolerates up to $f$ byzantine faults in $3f+1$-sized networks and performs in the asynchronous CORDA model. Our solution matches the previously established lower bound for the…
Gathering is a fundamental coordination problem in cooperative mobile robotics. In short, given a set of robots with arbitrary initial locations and no initial agreement on a global coordinate system, gathering requires that all robots,…
We consider the problem of fault-tolerant parallel search on an infinite line by $n$ robots. Starting from the origin, the robots are required to find a target at an unknown location. The robots can move with maximum speed $1$ and can…
We consider the problem of approximate consensus in mobile networks containing Byzantine nodes. We assume that each correct node can communicate only with its neighbors and has no knowledge of the global topology. As all nodes have moving…
In this work, we study the approximate consensus problem in asynchronous message-passing networks where some nodes may become Byzantine faulty. We answer an open problem raised by Tseng and Vaidya, 2012, proposing the first algorithm of…
This paper investigates the task solvability of mobile robot systems subject to Byzantine faults. We first consider the gathering problem, which requires all robots to meet in finite time at a non-predefined location. It is known that the…
The problem of dispersion of mobile robots on a graph asks that $n$ robots initially placed arbitrarily on the nodes of an $n$-node anonymous graph, autonomously move to reach a final configuration where exactly each node has at most one…
We consider the gathering task by a team of $m$ synchronous mobile robots in a graph of $n$ nodes. Each robot has an identifier (ID) and runs its own deterministic algorithm, i.e., there is no centralized coordinator. We consider a…
A set of mobile robots is placed at points of an infinite line. The robots are equipped with GPS devices and they may communicate their positions on the line to a central authority. The collection contains an unknown subset of "spies",…
A set of mobile robots (represented as points) is distributed in the Cartesian plane. The collection contains an unknown subset of byzantine robots which are indistinguishable from the reliable ones. The reliable robots need to gather,…
We consider the following problem: two nodes want to reliably communicate in a dynamic multihop network where some nodes have been compromised, and may have a totally arbitrary and unpredictable behavior. These nodes are called Byzantine.…

This paper explores the problem of reaching approximate consensus in synchronous point-to-point networks, where each pair of nodes is able to communicate with each other directly and reliably. We consider the mobile Byzantine fault model…
This paper explores the problem of reaching approximate consensus in synchronous point-to-point networks, where each directed link of the underlying communication graph represents a communication channel between a pair of nodes. We adopt…
We address the problem of reaching consensus in the presence of Byzantine faults. In particular, we are interested in investigating the impact of messages relay on the network connectivity for a correct iterative approximate Byzantine…
The Byzantine agreement problem is considered to be a core problem in distributed systems. For example, Byzantine agreement is needed to build a blockchain, a totally ordered log of records. Blockchains are asynchronous distributed systems,…
We demonstrate a deterministic Byzantine consensus algorithm with synchronous operation in partial synchrony. It is naturally leaderless, tolerates any number of $ f<n/2 $ Byzantine processes with 2 rounds of exchange of originator-only…
In distributed learning systems, robustness issues may arise from two sources. On one hand, due to distributional shifts between training data and test data, the trained model could exhibit poor out-of-sample performance. On the other hand,…
