BEECLUST - Preliminary tests on robot-to-robot collisions

In this video we present our first tests on robot-to-robot collision detection with the ePuck educational robot (www.e-puck.org). To discriminate obstacles (such as the walls of the arena) from robots, each ePuck sends out encoded infrared packages that are detected when a potential obstacle is encountered. In this test the robots turn in a circle and switch on their LEDs when another robot is encountered. When a wall is detected the robot turns and drives in the other direction.
