i. Reservoir A properly constructed reservoir is a tank to hold oil until the system demands fluid. It is also capable to dissipate heat from the fluid, separate air from the oil and settle out contamination in the oil. The reservoir generally has fluid three times more than the pump output per minute.

... Hydraulic systems operate based on the principle of fluid mechanics. When the pump pressurizes the hydraulic fluid, it creates a force that is transmitted through the system (Papoutsidakis et al., 2019). By controlling the flow of the fluid using valves, the system can generate different forces and control the movement of actuators. ...
This study explored the concerns associated with the implementation of intelligent hydraulic systems which have emerged as a driving trend in the context of Industry 4.0, serving as a gateway to industrial automation and enhancing overall operational efficiency in the manufacturing sector. One major concern in the study was the potential risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches, as intelligent hydraulic systems rely heavily on interconnected devices and data exchange. Another concern was the complexity of integrating intelligent hydraulic systems with existing industrial infrastructure. For example, retrofitting existing machinery with intelligent hydraulic components can be challenging and may require significant investments. Additionally, it was observed that the lack of standardized communication protocols and compatibility issues between different systems can pose potential threats to seamless integration. Furthermore, the study indicated that the implementation of intelligent hydraulic systems require a skilled workforce capable of operating and maintaining these advanced systems. The findings revealed that developing a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that includes regular vulnerability assessments, encryption protocols, and employee training on cybersecurity best practices can protect sensitive data and prevent cyber threats. Also, development of effective communication protocols and compatibility standards can facilitate the seamless integration of these systems into existing industrial infrastructure and promote interoperability among different intelligent hydraulic systems. Lastly, fostering collaborations between academia, industry, and government agencies can further enhance the capabilities and efficiency of these systems. Hence, the integration of intelligent hydraulic systems into industrial automation has revolutionized the manufacturing sector by enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and improved energy efficiency. However, the rapid advancement of this technology necessitates continuous training and upskilling of the workforce to keep up with the evolving demands of Industry 4.0.

An electro-hydraulic profiling mechanism has been gradually applied to provide suitable downforce for a no-till row unit and to ensure the consistency of the seed sowing depth. In order to improve the control effect of the sowing depth system and solve the problems of a complex structure, scattered valve sets and equipment suitability of an existing electro-hydraulic row unit, this paper takes the 2BJ-470B no-till row unit as the carrier and innovatively designs an integrated pressure-reducing cylinder (IPRC) based on electro-hydraulic technology by analyzing the sowing depth control process of an electro-hydraulic seeder. In addition, we develop the integrated electro-hydraulic-driven sowing depth measurement and control system. Combined with the feedforward compensation PID control algorithm, the dynamic regulation of the downforce is realized with the IPRC. The field test shows that under the setting of a sowing depth of 50 mm and a vehicle speed of 9~10 km·h−1, the qualified rate of the sowing depth under the three adjustment methods of self-weight adjustment, spring adjustment and electro-hydraulic adjustment is 89.2%, 96.7% and 98.6%, respectively, and the corresponding maximum coefficient of variation of the sowing depth is 16.7%, 12.9% and 6.4%, respectively. The seed groove environmental qualification rate (SFEQ) is further analyzed in combination with the soil compaction, and the mean values of the qualification rates of the three control methods at different vehicle speeds are 88.3%, 91.6% and 98.6%, respectively. The integrated electro-hydraulic-driven row unit has significant advantages over mechanical and self-weight regulation, and its whole machine integration degree and high adaptability realize the comprehensive control of the sowing depth and soil compaction strength.

Soft actuators show much promise for use in bioinspired and biomimetic robotics as they share many similarities with actuation systems found in nature. Twisted and coiled actuators are soft actuators that have been shown to outperform many metrics of biological muscles, leading researchers to derive actuation models for future control and implementation. Although models have been proposed for twisted and coiled carbon nanotubes and polymer fibers, cavatappi artificial muscles—a novel twisted and coiled fluidic soft actuator—have not been modeled yet. This work establishes a framework for modeling cavatappi using the thick-wall pressure vessel stress analysis and the spring theory. The presented model uses the mechanical properties of the precursor drawn material used for fabrication, initial twist (internal fiber angle), muscle geometry, and internal pressure to predict the artificial muscles contraction under different external loads. The model predictions agree with the experimental results for cavatappi of different internal fiber angles and load conditions. Given their potential implementation in bioinspired applications, our model can help better design, optimize, and control the actuation response of cavatappi.

Despite the great advantages it offers, such as high-power density, precise control and large force output, conventional hydraulic valve control suffers from low energy efficiency due to substantial energy losses that occurs as the pressurized oil flows through the hydraulic circuit and its components, particularly the control-ones. Conventional hydraulic technology typically utilizes analogue spool valves, such as proportional and servovalves, as control components in various industrial and aeronautical applications where high precision and fast response are required. However, the use of these valves leads to high power dissipation, caused by the significant pressure drop across the small narrow passages uncovered during valve control. To maintain the relevance of hydraulic technology across industries, researchers are investigating a novel research field, also referred to as digital hydraulic technology. By using some digital concepts into hydraulic technology, the goal of this innovative research field is to replace conventional analogue spool valves with robust and low-cost digital On/Off valves, thus minimizing power losses and enhancing the overall efficiency of hydraulic systems. This paper presents a thorough review of the research advancements in digital hydraulic technology, with a specific focus on valve control. Firstly, the standard definition of digital hydraulic technology and its two main categories are introduced. Then, the operating principles and the digital approaches used to control digital hydraulic valves are examined. Afterwards, the digital hydraulic valve architectures developed over the years are reviewed, along with an in-depth analysis of their performance. Finally, the potential application scenarios, advantages and challenges with digital hydraulic valves are explored, highlighting potential areas for future research and development.
