Fault injection
Byzantine / adversarial agents
Swap an agent's policy for an adversarial one
Injection definition
Byzantine / adversarial injection models rogue, hacked, or severely corrupted agents by swapping a cooperative agent's policy for an adversarial one at runtime (onset between steps 40–60). The compromised node actively broadcasts misleading coordination messages or takes counter-productive physical actions (such as intentionally mis-sorting materials or triggering unnecessary presses), testing whether the multi-agent system can isolate malicious nodes and preserve safety guarantees.
Duration modes
- Permanent: the fault persists for the relevant evaluation.
- Transient: the fault is introduced for a bounded interval.
