In article <1phk6jINNbgo@uk-news.uk.sun.com> you write:

: I am looking for information on using and controlling
: hydraulics (micro) for using in small robots. Any good 
: books or papers. Also want info on controllers, like 
: the miniboard, but more suited to hydraulics. 

Hydraulics:

	"Robotic Technology: Principles and Practice"
	Werner G. Holzbock
	Van Nostrand Reinhold Co, 1986, ISBN 0-442-23154-7

	Chapter 4: Hydraulic Concepts
	Chapter 5: Hydraulic Systems and Components

	There are also chapters on pneumatics and other stuff you
	don't find in your average robotics book.

Controllers:

	"Microcontroller Technology: The 68HC11"
	Peter Spasov
	Regents/Prentice Hall, 1993, ISBN 0-13-583568-2

	Clearly aimed at the 68HC11 family, but a good reference
	anyway.

If you get any other references on hydraulics, I'd like to see
them too. Thanks.
