The blockchain is a secure and trustworthy distributed transaction management system that is being extensively researched and developed for various applications and use cases. This study introduces a novel distributed control system using the Blockchain. A multi-robot path planning application is developed and deployed to benchmark a blockchain platform, the Hyperledger Fabric. Blockchain technology has the reputation of being sufficiently dilatory that it is inappropriate for time-sensitive applications. This research demonstrates how the enterprise-grade blockchain solutions overcome this shortcoming and investigates their potential for enabling secure and trusted distributed control systems for IoT.
