This paper critically analyzes conventional and biomimetic robotic arms, underscoring the trade-offs between size, motion range, and load capacity in current biomimetic models. By delving into the human shoulder's mechanical intelligence, particularly the glenohumeral joint's intricate features such as its unique ball-and-socket structure and self-locking mechanism, we pinpoint innovations that bolster both stability and mobility while maintaining compactness. To substantiate these insights, we present a groundbreaking biomimetic robotic glenohumeral joint that authentically mirrors human musculoskeletal elements, from ligaments to tendons, integrating the biological joint's mechanical intelligence. Our exhaustive simulations and tests reveal enhanced flexibility and load capacity for the robotic joint. The advanced robotic arm demonstrates notable capabilities, including a significant range of motions and a 4 kg payload capacity, even exerting over 1.5 Nm torque. This study not only confirms the human shoulder joint's mechanical innovations but also introduces a pioneering design for a next-generation biomimetic robotic arm, setting a new benchmark in robotic technology.
