Air-Hydraulic Servo Booster Toward Submersible Water-Driven Robots

This letter describes a novel pneumatically controlled hydraulic booster: Air-Hydraulic Servo Booster (AHSB) applied to water-hydraulic robots. This pump-less hydraulic circuit can control middle range water pressure easily by pneumatic proportional valves, where one can use tap water as the hydraul
