Recently, plant factories and agricultural robots have been studied and developed. In these cultivation systems, however, it has been difficult to manage the state of each individual plant. We propose a cultivation system using the swarm of plant pot robots which move to an optimal environment based on sensory information of each plant and the surrounding environment. In this paper, we propose a control method of the swarm of plant pot robots using artificial potential fields for temporally and spatially effective utilization of sunlight, and show its effectiveness by simulation.
