I've got a Robonova RN-1 humanoid automaton. It's a great robot but the use of a screws bespoke into thin threaded brackets for the hip and ankles is a genuinely bad design flaw in the Robonova.
My robonova's hip/leg joints and leg/ankle joints failed within 2 weeks of erection the robot. The joints loosened causing the android to go off balance and fail many of his moves. The screws after all came lose. Eventually some of the threaded holes in the brackets wore and became ineffective!
I've replaced the screws with standard M2 (2mm) screws and corresponding nuts. The best nuts to use would have been nyloc nuts as they are less credible to come loose. My local fastener supplier was out of M2 nyloc nuts so I had to go with type nuts (for now :-)).
The advantage of using screws and nuts as opposed to of just screws is that the threads in the shelf holes aren't required so you can utilise all 8 holes (4 threaded, 4 unthreaded) to sire an extra strong joint!
Here are some pictures:
