Proof-of-Physical-Work (PoPW) has been a concept under consideration. At first glance, it seems simple, but in reality, it is quite solid — it verifies through cryptographic means that robots have indeed completed tasks in the real world. For example, in drone delivery of packages, after the system issues a task, the robot performs the work and generates a cryptographic proof, ensuring that each act of labor is credibly recorded. This approach combines real-world physical actions with the immutability of blockchain, opening up an interesting path — allowing the value of robots' work to be truly verified and transferred.

Hey, finally someone has figured out the value of robot labor, it was all just nonsense before.

ngl the oracle problem here is *still* not solved though... like empirically speaking, how do we actually verify the drone didn't just fake the gps coordinates? the literature on physical attestation already flagged this back in 2021

Hmm, this idea is indeed interesting. The physical world and on-chain records are truly connected. However, I still want to ask, will the cost of cryptographic proofs end up eating into the labor value of the robots?

Hey, this PoPW sounds good, but what if the robots cheat? Can the camera be fooled?

Drones running errands can still be recorded on the blockchain, and this logic is indeed brilliant. I just don't know how it will actually be implemented in practice; right now, it's all just theoretical concepts.

Well, this idea is pretty good, but I feel that practical implementation is still a problem... Is that drone cryptographic proof really reliable?

Alright, this PoPW sounds good, but in reality? Can the drone delivery system really get off the ground? It still seems more impressive on paper.

Wow, this idea is really brilliant. Finally, someone has put the laborious work of robots on the blockchain, no longer just an empty concept.

Hmm... This PoPW system is indeed interesting, but can the cost of robot cheating outweigh the benefits? It still feels like an open question.
