Abstract

To perform agile bipedal movement, human feet must meet extremely demanding requirements in terms of compactness, flexibility, strength, joint movements, actuation, and control. These requirements are met through very sophisticated engineering solutions. This paper describes four highly specialised mechanical features of the ankle-foot complex that show a very high degree of complexity and fine-tuning: i) a

为什么踝足综合体是工程杰作,是对“糟糕设计”论调的反驳
为了实现敏捷的双足运动,人的脚必须在紧凑性、柔韧性、强度、关节运动、驱动和控制方面满足极其苛刻的要求。这些要求是通过非常复杂的工程解决方案来满足的。本文描述了踝关节-足部复合体的四个高度专业化的机械特征,显示出非常高的复杂性和微调程度:1)a
