Abstract

The AAAI 2008 Workshop on Mobility and Manipulation (held during the Twenty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence) showcased advances in mobility and manipulation through a half-day workshop and an exhibition.  The workshop focused on possible solutions to both technical and organizational challenges to mobility and manipulation research.  This article presents the highlights of that discussion along with the content of the accompanying exhibits.
