> To avoid the extremely non-linear micro-dynamics of joint friction and backlash, these hexapods employ flexure joints.
> A flexure joint bends material to achieve motion, rather than sliding of rolling across two surfaces.
> This does eliminate friction and backlash, but adds spring dynamics and limits the workspace.
