ToC Figure. A) Schematic of the self-healing robot. Tendon-driven legged robot has the self-healing component on its Achilles tendon. The landing impact breaks the component, which protects other stuff on the motor-driven tendon. B) Self-healing behavior of the tendon-driven legged robot. After waiting for the self-healing sequence, the robot performed squat motions thanks to the healed strength of the self-healing component. C) Self-healing module. The LMPA part breaks after the landing impact. The self-healing sequence is composed of reconnection, melting and solidification. The  melting process is accompanied by sloshing by the motor-driven tendon. In other words, the robot augments the self-healing performance by its own motion.
