N2 - We have developed a compliant robotic tendon mechanism for a robotic ankle. In this paper, we analyze the differences between a stiff and compliant robotic tendon versus a stiff and compliant slider crank mechanism. The compliant, slider-crank mechanism reduces peak forces and speed required by an actuator at the ankle.
