Abstract
Methods of robots group interaction are analyzed. Interaction models for groups of robots of both foreign and domestic research teams are considered. Creation of the system of heterogeneous interaction of robots based on the optimization model is justified. The use of a Vickrey auction in the creation of the information system for control of heterogeneous robots groups is shown. Mathematical apparatus evaluating the applicability of robots was developed. The algorithm of distribution of functional possibilities between robots is developed. It is proposed to conduct field experiments in order to test the results.

Key words
Robots, interfaces, group interaction.
