In this paper, we proposed a simple system that could control the direction of a swarm of mobile robots by using phase gradient. We implemented a system of autonomous mobile robots, in which each robot was equipped an oscillator with local interaction ability. By introducing relative direction among robots, we realized a particular phase distribution so that we could guide a swarm of robots in 2D or 3D spaces. We verified the proposed system by experiments and simulations.
