Abstract
--------
The purpose of this workshop is to discuss state-of-the-art hydraulic
actuators and systems for practical robot application. Invited tutorials
from hydraulic industry and academia are given to introduce new
solutions that improve the control performance and energy efficiency
while keeping the actuator's innate high power density, robustness, and
long-life. Some leading robotics researchers in this field introduce
their application to share their knowledge and ideas with the
participants. The primary audiences are those researchers currently
involved in, or wishing to learn more about, the state-of-the-art in
design and control of fast and efficient hydraulic robots for medical,
field, and space application. Researchers working on light-weight
manipulators, legged robots, or wearable exoskeleton robots are also
part of the intended audience. This workshop may also be of interest to
researchers in the complementary fields of electric and pneumatic power
systems.
This is the 2nd edition of the workshop series on high-performance
hydraulic robots.
The first workshop was held at ICRA2013. You can find the slides of
most talks online:
