In this demonstration we illustrate the direct usage of the principles of bee-inspired coordination in swarm intelligence on multi-robot systems. We present the first results of this implementation, where a subset of the bee algorithms are implemented on multiple turtlebot robots with the goal to simulate a food foraging application. For this we implemented means for locally detecting the location, speed and direction of the other robots using visual markers, applying collision avoidance algorithms and simulating local communication over wi-fi.
