Copying human physiology leads us to the first truly anthropomimetic robot - ECCEROBOT, driven by the antagonistically coupled compliant drives. Control design of such a mechanism appears as a really demanding and challenging mission. Puller-follower concept, developed for the robotic joint with antagonistically coupled drives, is expanded to the multi-joint control level. Problems in control of the multi-jointed anthropomimetic robot are highlighted in this paper, and solutions through the robust control and model based compensations are proposed.
