Structure and Frictional Properties of the Leg Joint of the Beetle <i>Pachnoda marginata</i> (Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae) as an Inspiration for Technical Joints
The efficient locomotion of insects is not only inspiring for control algorithms but also promises innovations for the reduction of friction in joints. After previous analysis of the leg kinematics and the topological characterization of the contacting joint surfaces in the beetle <i>Pachnoda...
