Deals with results and trends on mechatronics in fluid power and
intelligent control of machines and robots. New results are
presented concerning transputer-basen distributed control of
machines and robots. Experimental results with the DTU mechatronic
test facility are presented and discussed. Several adaptive
control algoritms are investigated and evaluated. Promissing
results are obtained with Computed Valve-Input Control (CIC),
Adaptive Model-based Actuator Control (AMAC) and Linear
Pertubation Adaptive Control (LPAC).
