Dynamic position control for hydraulic modules demonstrated on a stilt tractor in a vineyard

Project information
Hydraulic modules are the building blocks of many applications, in particular specialized vehicles. The aim of this project is to develop a safe and resource-efficient technology of regulation and control for a stilt tractor. This is to be achieved by an innovative approach to sensor integration. External position and altitude sensors will be used to enable highly dynamic control. The upgrade of consisting hydraulic modules will be possible. The stilt tractor will be demonstrated in a vineyard.
