An artificial joint for a prosthesis or robot arm, the artificial joint comprising a first rigid link, a second rigid link, a compliant joint rotatably connecting the first rigid link and the second rigid link with respect to a principal plane of rotation, and comprising an elastic link extending between the first rigid link and the second rigid link, and a first string section and a second string section both extending between the first rigid link and the second rigid link, being arranged on opposite sides with respect to the compliant joint, such that shortening one of the first string section and of the second string section and lengthening the other one of the first string section and of the second string section drives a rotation of the first rigid link and the second rigid link with respect to each other in the principal plane of rotation.
