This paper introduces a new hydraulic manipulator with hydraulic-cable driven actuation (HCA) modules for disaster response mobile-manipulation. The hydraulic actuation system has the potential to apply disaster-response application, because it has a higher power-to-weight ratio and robustness to external impacts than electric motor actuation. However, using a conventional hydraulic manipulators i...
