3. Organization of Presentation: In each paper, we will present the following: - Introduction of the paper. - Formulation of the problem using an example. - Simulation setting used. - Simulation Result. - Discussion of the Simulation Result.

4. 2nd paper: “Coordinating Locomotion and Manipulation of a Mobile Manipulator” Introduction: -When a person writes across a board, he/she positions his/her arm in a comfortable writing configuration by moving his/her body rather than reaching out the arm. -The same situation happens in many case such as people transporting a heavy object cooperatively. -Therefore, when a mobile manipulator performs a manipulation task, it is desirable to bring the manipulator into certain preferred configurations by appropriately planning the motion of the mobile platform.
