....excluded. This restriction is lifted by employing mobile manipulators. Successful employment of mobile manipulators in agriculture has recently been reported in litera1 Partially supported by the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems at NTUA ture (Mandow et al. 1996; Kondo, 1995; Fujiura et al. 1990; Iida et al. 1996) One of the main problems concerning the application of a mobile manipulator in agriculture is planning its autonomous motion on the eld and coordinating its two main components, namely, the mobile base and the manipulator mounted on top. Due to the kinematic constraints ....

....be performed by the AURORA mobile robot (Mandow et al. 1996) The robot is capable of navigating autonomously along the corridors of a greenhouse while performing spraying tasks. Other mobile manipulators have been built to operate under field conditions and collect grapes (Kondo, 1995) oranges (Fujiura et al. 1990), watermelons (Iida et al. 1996) etc. The Center for Intelligent Machines at McGill University has developed an articulated forestry machine (Papadopoulos and Sarkar, 1997) The application is very promising for the employment of multiple mobile manipulator systems. The use of such systems for ....
