Heavy-duty robotics

IHA is one of the leading institutions in advanced control of hydraulic robotic manipulators. Our theoretically-sound control designs have demonstrated multiple state-of-the-art control performance improvements with hydraulic robotic manipulators’ in their

  1. Free-space motion control,
  2. Impedance control and Hybrid motion/force control,
  3. Bilateral teleoperation,
  4. Learning from demonstration,
  5. Energy-efficient and high-precision control (with independent metering).
