The observation of the anatomy of agile animals and their locomotion capabilities emphasizes the importance of fast and lightweight legs and confirms the intrinsic compliance integrated into muscle-tendon units as a major ingredient for energy efficient and robust locomotion. This quality is especially relevant for distal leg segments which are subject to aggressive dynamics. Legged robots are acc...
