Zusammenfassung

The human leg with segments, joints and many muscles is a complicated device. Yet, in dynamic situations such as running, hopping or jumping we behave with ease and without being overwhelmed by the complicated task. We argue that this is possible due to a careful arrangement and fine tuning of all properties from which stability and robustness emerges. Robust and stable systems are easy to control.
