Abstract
The paper discusses the issues of managing a society of robots within the framework of the paradigm of models of social behavior in group robotics. It is shown that the specifics of managing a society of robots as a holistic, stable formation is reduced to two mechanisms: managing the individual behavior of members of a society and affecting the environment. To control the individual, the use of parasitic manipulation mechanisms is proposed. It is shown how the architecture of an individual’s control system makes it possible to carry out such influences as changing the nature of behavior, reorienting and directly building up reactions. In addition, the concept of territorial homeostasis (TG) is introduced, which defines a number of specific abilities of the "group of robots - environment" system. It is concluded that the "standard" tasks of group robotics are particular manifestations of the solution to the problem of maintaining TG.
