Fabrication

In this section, we will present the fabrication of a single actuation module. The actuation module is composed of four main components: the source code of the running mechanism, the main electronics circuitry, the tendon and pulley mechanism, and the covering container box. Follow the steps in this section to learn how to build all of these components.
