The document discusses a method for planning base positions for dual-arm mobile manipulators undertaking sequential pick-and-place tasks, focusing on minimizing the number of movements and travel distance. It details the use of inverse kinematics, stable grasp considerations, and optimization techniques, including branch and bound and simulated annealing, to enhance efficiency in object retrieval. Numerical examples illustrate the potential of this method in optimizing dual-arm operations in a defined workspace.
