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 …

Background: Artificial muscles are an active research area now. Methods: A bibliometric
analysis was performed to evaluate the development of artificial muscles based on research …

Robotic arms have remarkable applications in diverse fields such as medical rehabilitation,
disaster relief, and space exploration. Enhancing their rigidity, load-bearing capacity, and …

A pneumatic large intestine-like soft robot with McKibben muscles is designed based on
traveling wave motion. The robot consists of four sections, and each section is controlled by …

A tensegrity-based system is a promising approach for dynamic exploration of uneven,
unpredictable, and confined environments. However, implementing such systems presents …

Tensegrity structures have been actively studied in recent years because they are
lightweight, compliant, and flexible, which are properties not typically found in conventional …

This study presents an innovative approach in soft robotics, focusing on an inchworm-
inspired robot designed for enhanced transport capabilities. We explore the impact of …

Traditional rigid-body in-pipe robots usually have complex and heavy structures with limited
flexibility and adaptability. Although soft in-pipe robots have great improvements in flexibility …

Most current in-pipe robots are usually designed for pipes of a specific size. In this letter, we
propose a novel inchworm-like in-pipe robot based on the concept of tensegrity for moving …

Significant progress has been achieved in the development of tensegrity robots with rolling
capabilities. However, because rolling robots operate passively due to gravity, they are …
