New approaches developed in the Center
will be demonstrated on six test beds
New fluid-power approaches developed at ERC will be demonstrated on six test beds. These are the excavator, small Urban Vehicle (sUV), compact rescue crawler, fluid power assisted hand-tools, and fluid-power-assisted orthoses and prostheses. The excavator will be located at Purdue; the injection molding machine, sUV and fluid-power-assisted hand-tools will be at Minnesota; the compact rescue crawler is a joint project between Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt; and the fluid power assisted orthoses and prostheses will be at Illinois.
