Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, we expect to utilize drones in various scenes, and delivery service by drones would be realized near future. In the operation of the drone in the urban area, it is expected that the flight route will be restricted to predetermined places such as on a river from safety measures against accidents such as crash. Under such situations, it is necessary to operate a large number of drones in a narrow space, and a technique for group control of a large number of drones is required rather than operating individual drones separately. One idea of realizing such group control is Reynolds’ boids model. In the boids model, the size and structure of the drones group changes according to the values of parameters in the basic operation rule of the agent. Conventional researches for avoiding obstacles have clarified that agent group can avoid obstacles by individual agent judgment under the condition that position of obstacles are known. However, it is not always possible to forecast the occurrence of obstacles and to specify the position of them. In this paper, by changing the parameters of the boids model at the time of approaching an obstacle, we show basic investigation for which the way to divide the drone group for avoiding obstacles.
