Abstract
An apparatus comprises first (3) and second (5) force-activated actuators, each having a fluid displacer (7, 9) and force control lever (19, 21) coupled to the fluid displacer, a conduit (15) for transporting fluid between the fluid displacers to couple motion of the fluid displacers, and a force controller (17) responsive to the pressure of the fluid for controlling a force opposing displacement of a fluid displacer.
