Abstract
Previously, the authors have proposed a control method in which autonomous mobile robots performs migration, shaping and rotation as a herd by using simple virtual forces of interaction. This paper newly describes more various shaping and internal movements produced by changing parameters of the force related to the target position of the herd. The behaviors are confirmed by simulation.
