 | | Gliederfüsser | |
The construction of the arthropod complies with a kinetic model that consists of two segments. Every segment is made of the minimalized in the course of evolution movement instruments = leg+leg. Every leg complies four triangles that are combined together by "virtual muscles". Every movement of the arthropod´s construction results from the sucsessive up-coming tensions and relaxations of the muscles. In the configuration process, the gravitation as well as the friction forces are not going to be calculated within. The form is being in the everlasting movement. Every form of the arthropod´s construction - that is being generated later - must be bounded to the previous one.
