INSECT JOINTS CAN INSPIRE
ROBOTIC LIMBS
Neurobiologist that insect limbs can move with out muscles a finding that may provide engineers with new ways to improve the control of robotic and prosthetic limbs.
Their work help to explain how insects control their movements using neuronal controls and biomechanical tricks, says lead researchers DR. Tom Matheson from the University of Leicester. The researcher showed that the structure of some insect leg joints cause the legs to move even in the absence of muscles. Some movements are influenced by properties of muscles and tendons, other movement are generated by forces that arise from within the joints themselves, DR. Matheson said.
