The collective operates in a manner that the different actors can interact with each other in a frictionless manner. Each actor has a Verifier Ranking, Buyer Ranking and a Seller Ranking which is assigned according to their past activities in the collective. All the actors are assigned a base ranking of 4 when entering the collective for each Verifier, Buyer and Seller attributes
Many Magnus Collective Actors will live on the cloud, houses or even as minute representation in the form of different IOT devices. Embedded devices that join the collective will be able to exchange data and AI services with other embedded devices containing Magnus Collective actors, as well as with Magnus Collective actors in the cloud and elsewhere; and they will be able to carry out financial exchanges associated with these data and AI exchanges using tokens. The home robots created by Ingen (a co-founding organization of Magnus Collective) will be a proving ground for some of the first embedded Robotic Collectives. Robotics and AI collectives can also barter transactions with each - exchanging skills.
a. Security in Robot Collectives and Cloud Robotics
In commercial applications security is of paramount importance - and this has in ways been hindering a large scale deployment of a swarm or cloud of Robotics. Mechanisms through which members of the group of Robots can trust each other is the central point here. This also helps screen out members of the collective that has malicious intent.
There are four key elements here are
• Data confidentiality
• Data integrity
• Entity authentication
• Data origin authentication
Magnus Collective by the features of the block chain built underneath it can address all these key elements in a comprehensive manner. Magnus Collective can provide not only a reliable peer-topeer communication channel to swarm’s agents, but are also a way to overcome potential threats , vulnerabilities , hack attacks and phishing attacks.
