D printing is a fun hobby and there are many useful items that you can make. Here are 13 projects you can try out to test ...

A mathematical model is established using the space coordinates of nodes and vector matrix of components to study the construction method and lightweight nature of single-layer tensegrity structures ...

This paper presents a computational strategy for shape change of tensegrity models to achieve the prescribed target coordinates of a set of monitored nodes via forced elongation of cables.

Abstract: Many current dynamic hand orthoses use single degree of freedom joints, such as hinge joints. Consequently, these orthoses can only partially replicate the complex, multi-axis range of ...

Abstract: 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 ...

The Standard Model is the modern physical understanding of three of the four forces of nature: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. When you purchase through links on ...

Seventy-five year old architect and designer Buckminster Fuller looks out at the world through a “Tensegrity” model in his office in Carbondale, Illinois, United States, on Feb. 15, 1971. Fuller’s ...
