Abstract: A tensegrity-based robot is a locomotive robot that operates on the principle of tensegrity, allowing it to change its shape by adjusting its internal prestress. Tensegrity-based robots can be categorized into different ...

Abstract: The use of general tensegrity systems that incorporate rigid bodies beyond axially loaded members has garnered increasing attention in practical applications. Recent preliminary studies have been conducted on the analysis ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a general approach for topology optimization of tensegrity structures. The optimization problem is formulated in the framework of a mixed-integer linear programming. Compared with previous approaches, ...
