All domain knowledge may change over time due to the addition or updating of new concepts, rules or requirements, especially when the domain is in its infancy such as robotics. This mandates the need to evolve the corresponding ontologies. In this paper, we propose a new blockchain-based robotic ontology evolution method using a crowdsourcing approach. The proposed method integrates the use of a crowdsourcing approach to allow a crowd of robotic experts to evolve the ontology and then use blockchain as a storage mechanism to store and manage the different versions of the ontology. We aim to solve some of the issues emanating from the methods proposed in the literature, such as preventing manipulation in ontologies, accessing different versions of ontologies, and involving a good number of domain experts in proposing changes and seeking their approval.
