Mobile Manipulation

Combining a mobile base (wheeled, legged, or tracked) with one or more manipulator arms to perform tasks that require both navigation and grasping. Mobile manipulators can reach workspaces that fixed-base arms cannot. Whole-body coordination between the base and arm(s) is a key control challenge. Examples: Mobile ALOHA, Spot with arm, Hello Robot Stretch.
