Collaborative Manipulation by Independent Manipulators
This paper shows a method to handle a target object by plural manipulators. Where, the manipulators works independently, but the target object can be driven into the specified position. The information fed to each manipulator is same, thus communication can be done by broadcasting.

COORDINATING LOCOMOTION AND MANIPULATION OF A MOBILE MANIPULATOR
A mobile manipulator in this study is a manipulator mounted on a mobile platform. Assuming the end point of the manipulator is guided, e.g., by a human operator to follow an arbitrary trajectory, it is desirable that the mobile platform is able to move as to position the manipulator in certain preferred configurations.

Dynamic Manipulability of Robot Manipulators
The concept of dynamic manipulability measure of robot arms is proposed as a quantitative measure of their manipulating ability in positioning and orienting the end-effectors, which takes the arm dynamics into consideration. This measure is defined on the basis of the relation between the joint driving force and the acceleration of the end-effector ...
