Biomimetic Spider Leg Joints: A Review from Biomechanical Research to Compliant Robotic Actuators

Due to their inherent compliance, soft actuated joints are becoming increasingly important for robotic applications, especially when human-robot-interactions are expected. Several of these flexible actuators are inspired by biological models. One perfect showpiece for biomimetic robots is the spider...
