Abstract
The article discusses the control algorithm of a group of mobile robots based on the collaborative drone. A method of calculating the parameters of stitching global and local map has been developed to build fragments of trajectory. The control strategy of switching formation of a robots group in environment with obstacles is presented. Finally, the article gives the results of computer simulations in the ROS environment.

Key words
Mobile robots group, drone, stitching parameters calculating, reconfiguration control strategy, computer simulation.
