Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy position control for a 3-DOF hydraulic manipulator with large payload variation.

However, the main drawback of this research is only simulation, no experimental results. If can, please demonstrate the experimental results and compare with the simulation results. By the way, how do the authors verify the dynamic modeling is correct or not? How do the authors select the fuzzy rule base? Any schematic methodolgy applied in the rule base?

Reviewer 2 Report

Very nice piece of work, it is well presented and edited. The list of references definitely needs to be updated. Given the fact that this is a highly technical article, you should update the reference list and include more recent (and relevant) articles to support your work. As it stands now there are only 50% (more or less) those that come from the last 5years. You need to include more modern research work and you might consider articles like,
