Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling an array of multiple autonomous robots. In particular, the methods addresses an issue of controlling the multiple autonomous robots with to-be-controlled object units (units) when there is a non-contact portion in a common location between a set of initial locations of the units and a set of target locations of the units. The methods include: selecting a head to-be-controlled object unit (head object) based on a object unit at a location inside a set of locations and adjacent to a destination location, selecting a tail to-be-controlled object unit (tail object) based on a unit at a location outside the set and inside the initial location, moving a series of units from the head unit to the tail unit so as to follow operation of the head unit, and updating the set based on the destination location.
