Abstract
The paper analyzes control method for mobile robotic group combining supervisory- and tele-control. We consider the task of controlling a group of on-surface mobile robots within the space experiment «Kontur-2» performing the following tasks: movement in an unknown environment, transportation of cargoes and performance of joint operations. The use of network-centric approach allows transferring resource-intensive computing tasks in a high-performance hybrid cloud environment. Such cloud environment as a single point for processing of all sensory data allows us to use the advantages of centralized control method and to manage the resources of on-surface mobile robots more effectively.

Key words
Space experiment «Kontur-2», supervisory control, cyberphysical object, on-surface mobile robot.
