So it looks like my assumption was correct that manipulating the individual segments directly, somehow bypasses the physics calculations.  
I actually managed to rig my model with configurable joints and make the joints stable ( no jitter ).  The biggest gotcha that I found is to make sure that the colliders that are attached to [...]

Over the course of the last few weeks I have been developing a humanoid robot simulation for robotSim
This has not been a very easy task and I seriously thought that it would take a lot less time than it did.
After getting all of the kinks out of the 3d model we started to rig the [...]
