Currently, group control is one of the main developing branches in robotics field. Grouping robots has many advantages. These advantages include wider range, increased functionality, and higher indicator of the assigned tasks quality. Group control is subdivided into control of homogeneous and heterogeneous robots. Controlling heterogeneous robots is more interesting in terms of the ability to use each specific robot to solve its assigned task. This merit greatly expands capabilities of the group. This work discusses the use of tracked robots in group control of heterogeneous robots. An overview of the problem of using tracked robots has been made. The work includes forming functional diagram for a group and a pair. The pair consists of a tracked robot - a monitoring and command point. The work also discusses information flows interaction between a tracked robot and a remote central server using StateFlow package in MATLAB Simulink modeling environment.
