[Myon content] It has been 10 years since the Myon has been assembled.
| It exhibits a combination of an endoskeleton with an exoskeleton, the latter of which can manually be detached without the need for technical equipment. One of the essential parts is a novel flange which firmly connects the body parts mechanically, whilst at the same time relaying the power supply lines and sensorimotor signals.
| We also address the details of the antagonistic and compliant actuation system which not only protects the gears against high impact forces but also enables biologically inspired joint control.

| We describe the design concepts of the modular humanoid robot Myon, which can be disassembled and reassembled during runtime. The body parts are fully autonomous in a threefold sense: they all possess their own energy supply, processing power, and a neural network topology which allows for stand-alone operation of single limbs.
The robot has especially been designed for robustness and easy maintenance.
