Bio Inspired Joints

In this work a biomimetic approach is used in order to assess the possibility of improving robotic joints for space applications. The work concerns the identification of classes of joints in nature which could inspire the design of a feasible system in which the mechanical subsystem and the actuation subsystems are merged. This report presents a study with the overall goal of finding biological articulation concepts which, when translated to a mechanical equivalent, can improve performance of articulated robot systems for space applications.
