Robots with intrinsic joint elasticity can perform highly dynamic manoeuvres by leveraging energy storage and release, enabling explosive motions such as throwing. By augmenting elastic robots with clutch mechanisms, link decoupling can be used to fully exploit inertial coupling effects and gravitat
