Abstract
An action control device controls movement of a plurality of control subjects. In particular, the present technology relates to a cooperative control of robots. The cooperative control comprises determining an action plan for each of a plurality of robots for respective movements. Given the action plan, the present case enables movements of the respective robots cooperatively from a state of rank formation in starting positions and cause the respective robots to form a rank in target position. In particular, the action plan comprises a set of operations where a plurality of robots extracted by deconstruction of parts of intermediate positions of robots are moved simultaneously to the locations to which the robots are to be added during construction of a subsequent intermediate positions of robots. The set of operations with simultaneous movements enables an increase in the speed of transformation of ranks formed by the plurality of robots.
