Abstract

Problems to be solved by the present invention relate to group control of moving objects in three dimensions, and the invention proposes a group control method, unlike conventional cumbersome methods, the method being stably provided with a function of causing a group to move in the same direction while preserving the aggregate form of the group, and with a function of causing the group to turn around a fixed point in the vicinity of an operational target. The method for three-dimensional group control of moving objects according to the present invention includes: setting, around individual moving objects, an interaction zone formed in a spherical or ellipsoidal three-layer structure of, sequentially from outside to inside thereof, an approach zone, a parallel-orientation zone and a repulsion zone; and employing, as an algorithm, a behavior model which comprises an approach rule, a parallel-orientation rule and a repulsion rule depending on the zone at which a neighbor moving object is present.
