Tendon-driven Actuation

Tendon-Driven Actuation is a mechanical actuation method in which motion and force are transmitted through flexible tendons connected to remote actuators, distinguishing itself from rigid-link or direct-drive systems by enabling decentralized actuator placement and promoting lightweight, biomimetic design in articulated mechanisms.
