Design and Experimental Validation of a Shock-Absorption Mechanism Inspired From the Frog's Forelimbs

Frogs reveal superior shock-absorption ability, which is mainly brought by the forelimbs. Frogs touch the ground with their forelimbs first in landing, followed by the elbow joints’ compression. In this process, the muscles and tendons of the forelimbs are pulled to store energy. However, muscles an
