ABSTRACT

A control device includes a controller that controls traveling of a first
mobile body in a travel mode according to formation information, the travel
mode including a convoy mode and a rotation mode. The convoy mode is a travel
mode in which mobile bodies travel in a formation. The rotation mode is a
travel mode that permits a leader to perform any type of traveling and permits
a follower to perform only a rotation. When the formation information
indicates that a first mobile body is the leader, the controller performs
formation reorganization by causing all followers included in a formation to
form, after the first mobile body moves from a lead position in the formation
to an other position, a new formation in which the first mobile body that has
moved to the other position is a new lead mobile body.
