This paper presents the hardware design and development of Hyblock, a modular hydraulic robot for heavy-duty application such as construction. The robot is equipped with a simple docking mechanism called a C-type expansion dowel and a novel hydraulic circuit MHSB that matches the modular structure. In this paper, we first report on the design of the robot hardware including the dowel and hydraulic...
