This was part of an experiment to see if I can replicate some of the muscle/tendon/bone structure in a humanoid form. It is not intended to mimic the body accurately but more to find a balance between current robotics and biological structures. I took inspiration from tensegrity principles as well (particularly in the spine).
I designed the parts so that they could be printed on a Form2 SLA printer. The muscle/tendon stand ins are made of silicone. Dragon skin 10 for the shoulder joints, and Shore A 40 silicone resin for the spinal joints. The silicone parts were cast in shallow moulds, with a break apart feature, that allows a variety of lengths to be made, and also reduce the damage done to the tendon when removing it from the mould.
The tendons slip over the mushroom like anchor points on the bones.
As it was very much an experiment I added more anchor points than was needed to t
