Why can't we just dump massive currents into spring returning solenoids with ~5mm or ~1/4" range of motion, and amplify that motion through tendon systems for whole joint motion ranges?

There's a significant amount of Japanese loanwords in modern Korean due to Japanese annexation(1910-1945/1965), as well as in modern Chinese to much lesser extent. These aren't an indication of a shared vocabulary or ancestry

Everything appear to be illegal in China, but also everything illegal appear to come from there. Their chemotherapy dose table is calculated for diluted compounds. Coupling their law text to regular universal enforcement is just a suicide.

The modern Korean Hangul script is phonographic, meaning it encodes sounds rather than ideas. Apparently that's good enough, or at least works better than how pure phonetic transcripts work for Japanese and Chinese languages, both of w
