Tendons (and the muscles they connect to) are awesome 💪
Your body has tendons, your robots should too! Our new paper in Advanced Science highlights how adding tendons to muscle-powered “biohybrid” robots makes them 11X stronger. Check out this great MIT News feature of our work:

My wife just left for 6 weeks of archaeological field school.
It made me think of mine: trekking in Nepal, collecting biomechanics data at altitude.
When the field becomes the classroom, every step teaches something new. 🏔️📐
