The present invention discloses a semi rigid joint for flexibly joining various links/structures. The said semi rigid joint comprises plurality of joining elements wherein each said joining element supporting at one end at least one joining component and at its other end having a magnetic connector such that the two adjacent placed joining elements facing said respective magnetic connectors under magnetic attraction of respective magnetic connectors provide a magnetic joint to connect together the components carried at its other ends. A flexible spring means is also proved in cooperation with the magnetic joint to allow bending at said magnetic joint under any external impact/force exceeding the magnetic attraction of the magnets and on release of said external impact/force rejoining the joints under restored magnetic attraction.
