A set of exemplary perturbations applied to the system, which demonstrates passive and coordinated response, as in Supplementary Video 3 . This emergent robust and animal-like passive response is highly dependent on the correct deployment of the synergy theory on the mechanical design. Indeed, a change in routing direction in any of the joints leads to immediate failure of the passive gait pattern, as shown in Supplementary Videos 7 and 8 .
