In this paper, we implement and evaluate the performance and security of Police Office Model in a simulated mobile robotic system. The model was originally proposed for computer networks, however it has its potential performance and security advantages for cyber-physical systems, which was stated in earlier works. The details of the model adaptation to a group of mobile robotic devices are discussed. In our study, we follow multi-agent approach, which allows to represent system as a set of different distributed agents. To evaluate the Police Office Model adaptation effect, we conduct an empirical study using custom software simulation environment. As performance metrics, the time to perform task assigned to the agents, and the number of tasks performed over one iteration were used. During the simulation, some agents were malicious – i.e. provided incorrect data in the agents’ intercommunication. The empirical study results demonstrated that Police Office Model implementation allows to increase both metrics in all simulated mobile robotic systems scenarios. on of the documentation of their work.
