Mechanical Compliance

Mechanical Compliance is a design principle in robotic systems that refers to the inherent ability of a mechanism to yield elastically in response to external forces, distinguishing it from rigid or actively controlled compliance by relying on passive physical properties of materials and structures to accommodate contact interactions.
