"Hydraulics" and "small robots" are not usually used in the same
sentence. Or you have a different perception of 'small.'

Look for back issues of "Motion Control" magazine for some
good hydraulic servo articles. As far as the electronics, the
actual controller used is pretty irrelevant from the hydraulic
point of view, the servo valves are another story.
