About: Tendon-driven robot

An Entity of Type: information appliance, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Tendon-driven robots (TDR) are robots whose limbs mimic biological musculoskeletal systems. They use plastic straps to mimic muscles and tendons. Such robots are claimed to move in a "more natural" way than traditional robots that use rigid metal or plastic limbs controlled by geared actuators. TDRs can also help understand how biomechanics relates to embodied intelligence and cognition. Challenges include effectively modeling the human body’s complex motions and ensuring accurate positioning, given that the tendons are prone to stretch, which costs them strength and smooth operation.
