Tensegrity structures, characterised by the interplay of discontinuous compression elements and continuous tension elements, have emerged as a promising design paradigm in robotics. These ...

Through his extensive research, inventions and structural experiments, Buckminster Fuller created the term tensegrity to describe "self-tensioning structures composed of rigid structures and cables, ...

This investigation by Kuan-Ting Lai, developed as part of his thesis on Reconfigurable Systems of Tensegrity at the University of Stuttgart, is an exploration of the capabilities of structural ...

If you’ve been on the internet in the past few weeks you may have come across a new word together with some scarcely believable images and videos. That word is tensegrity and the media attached to it ...

Modeling of Tensegrity Structures (MOTES) provides two categories for the analysis of any tensegrity structure. Firstly, static analysis provides the minimum mass of the tensegrity structure by ...

Kontax Engineering based in the United Kingdom has returned to Kickstarter for a fourth time to launch its new Tensegrity table a floating sculpture that uses the power of magnets to create a floating ...

Tensegrity structures are geometric nonlinear systems and statically and kinematically indeterminate structures that require an initial shape-finding procedure to establish a self-equilibrium state.

Abstract: Tensegrity structures have been widely explored for their lightweight, high-stiffness, and foldable properties. These unique characteristics have enabled their application in various fields ...
