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 …

In this paper, we present the system design and initial testing of SUPERball v2, a completely
re-designed 2-meter spherical six-bar tensegrity robot designed to survive high-speed …

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 …

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

We present a methodology for designing, fabricating, and controlling rolling membrane-
driven tensegrity robots. This methodology is enabled by pneumatic membrane actuators …

Tensegrity robots comprising solid rods connected by tensile cables are of interest due to
their flexible and robust nature, which potentially makes them suitable for uneven and …

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

Robots with flexible spines based on tensegrity structures have potential advantages over
traditional designs with rigid torsos. However, these robots can be difficult to control due to …

In this article consider a class of robotic systems composed of high-elongation linear
actuators connected at universal joints. We derive the differential kinematics of such robots …
