Abstract. This study deals with a master-slave system for a tele-operated electro-hydraulic actuator (T-EHA) that focuses on a hydraulic system to remotely control a mini excavator. Tele-operation using such system is useful for tele-operation support of heavy construction and road restoration, typically in post-disaster areas. This paper presents the current development of position control electro-hydraulic actuator for such remote tele-operation application. A 2.4 GHz radio-controlled transmitter and receiver unit, which is also known as the master, has been utilized as the remote controller for an electro-hydraulic actuator. The electro-hydraulic actuator, which serves as the slave has been fabricated by using a tie-rod cylinder, and coupled with a 24 VDC electro-hydraulic valve. Position control mathematical modelling and operational evaluation have been studied with regard to the tele-operated electro-hydraulic actuator.
