In this research project, a reliable and efficient motion program               (manipulation theory) will be developed for general robots with and             without redundant freedoms.  Good kinematic structure and good arm              movement programs are both essential for a versatile manipulator.               Classical search techniques to optimize the kinematic configuration of          the arm are extremely exhaustive and therefore not feasible.  Using the         aforementioned general purpose manipulation theory, efficient search            techniques will be developed to improve the configuration of the                robotic arms.
