In this paper we propose BeePCo, a multi-robot coverage approach based on honey bee colony behaviour. Specifically, we propose a honey bee inspired pheromone signalling method that allows a team of robots to maximise the total area covered in an environment in a distributed manner. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is experimentally evaluated on three different sizes of multi robot systems (MRSs) and compared against an ant-inspired coverage algorithm (StiCo) to show the different characteristics of these two approaches.
