Human-robot coexistence has become an important trend of the new generation of robots.
Both rigid structures and soft structures have their own limitations in certain application …

Numerous recent advances in robotics have been inspired by the biological principle of
tensile integrity—or “tensegrity”—to achieve remarkable feats of dexterity and resilience …

Robots generally excel at specific tasks in structured environments but lack the versatility
and the adaptability required to interact with and locomote within the natural world. To …

In this study, we concisely investigate two phases in the hybrid A-star algorithm for non-
holonomic robots: the forward search phase and analytic expansion phase. The forward …

This paper presents a method to create fish-like robots with tensegrity systems and
describes a prototype modeled on the body shape of the rainbow trout with a length of 400 …

Tensegrity structures are prestressed and self-stable pin-connected frameworks built up
mainly from two kind of elements, in compression (bars) and in tension (tendons). It has …

Aerial vehicles with collision resilience can operate with more confidence in environments
with obstacles that are hard to detect and avoid. This paper presents the methodology used …

Numerous recent research efforts have leveraged networks of rigid struts and flexible
cables, called tensegrity structures, to create highly resilient and packable mobile robots …

A swarm of randomly moving miniature robots is an effective solution for the exploration of
unknown terrains. However, the deployment of a swarm of miniature robots poses two …

Tensegrity robots, which are prototypical examples of hybrid soft–rigid robots, exhibit
dynamical properties that provide ruggedness and adaptability. They also bring about …
