            Abstract : 
This paper addresses an optimal formation control of multiple two-wheeled mobile vehicles with the help of model predictive control. An optimal formation is automatically determined among pre-defined formations in real time according to the environment with the help of model predictive control. Experimental results are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
