ARGoS-Blockchain interface (ARGoS module)

This module allows for running the ARGoS robot simulations described in the article Blockchain Technology Secures Robot Swarms: A Comparison of Consensus Protocols and Their Resilience to Byzantine Robots by Strobel, V., Castello Ferrer, E., and Dorigo, M.. For the ARGoS-Blockchain interface, the interaction with the Ethereum nodes is done via C++, using the code in the following repository: https://github.com/Pold87/ARGoS-Blockchain-interface/
