Course description and aims

This course will introduce the advantages and the problems of fluid power control systems from the point of applying them to robotics, after showing you their basic characteristics and how to design them. Furthermore, the newly proposed topics to solve the conventional problems will be introduced by using videos, which are related to fluid power actuators, pressure power source, and their application such as search & rescue robots and welfare robots.

Student learning outcomes

This course let the students understand the principles and characteristics on fluid powered system and how to apply them to the design of robots.
