Joint equivalence design and analysis of a tensegrity joint

B Chen, H Jiang, J Liu, S Lu - Journal of …, 2021 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
We propose a method to design a tensegrity joint, making its elastic deformation an accurate
joint-like motion, such as a rotation around the designed rotational center. The tensegrity …
