The drone’s bird-inspired legs adopted some key principles of biological design like the ability to store and release energy in tendon-like springs along with some flexible toes. Actuated hip and ankle joints form a simplified but still birdlike leg, while springs in the ankle and toe joints help to absorb force and store energy.
