Scope of Topics
Objectives
The first International
Conference on Fluid Power Transmission and Control was held in 1985, since
then the conference was held consecutively every four years. Now we look
forward to the sixth meeting again in Hangzhou. The conference will offer
a great opportunity for the participants to exchange their innovations,
new technology and, together define the new trends of development in the
field of fluid power transmission and control.
Hangzhou, the capital of
Zhejiang Province, is one of the most beautiful scenic places in China,
with convenient flight routines to Hong Kong, Beijing and other important
cities in China, and with only one and half hours of highway drive or express
train to Shanghai. As a tourist you may enjoy her breathtaking scenery
and the traditional cultures of southeast China.

About the West Lake in
Hangzhou
The West Lake, located in
the west of Hangzhou, has eulogized poems, paintings, myths and legends
which have been enjoyed by Chinese as well as foreigners for centuries.
There is rock-engraved calligraphy on a scenery hill standing in the West
Lake, which says: “Where else in the world that can boast such a wonderful
place?” Most Chinese are familiar with the popular saying which has been
handed down for generations: “In the heaven there is paradise, on the earth
there are Hangzhou and Suzhou”.
Introduction to IMCE
The Institute of Mechatronic
Control Engineering (IMCE) of Zhejiang University is the companion organization
of the State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power Transmission and Control (SKLoFP).
The leading professor is Prof. Dr.-Ing. Yongxiang Lu, Chairman of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences (CAS). The institute now has twelve professors, fifteen
associate professors and senior engineers. The research activities in IMEC
are mainly concentrated on the fluid power transmission and control, mechatronic
control & automation. In recent years, many important achievements
have been obtained in the fields of electro-hydraulic control, electro-pneumatic
control, computer applications, state monitoring & fault diagnosis,
applied fluid mechanics, robot techniques, new materials and sensors, modern
control and information technology. Some new experimental equipments have
been built. In the future, the institute will focus on improving the abilities
of research and application both in the large-power automation and transmission,
and in the hydro-mechatronic systems and devices with high performances.
