Abstract
A robot should be capable of both locomotion and manipulation when it is applied to various tasks in construction, agriculture, home, office, and hospital services. This paper describes why and how locomotion and manipulation should be integrated, what the benefits are, and what problems must be solved in terms of practical application of the robot. The paper is based mostly on discussions by the RSJ research committee
