Key takeaways

Unread. From general knowledge, to be checked against the text.

  • The degrees-of-freedom problem. A limb has far more joints and muscles than any movement needs, so control cannot be a matter of setting each.
  • Synergies. Coordination is “the mastering of redundant degrees of freedom”, achieved by constraining components to act as units.
