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 ...

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 ...

Tell us about your sense of purpose. I want to work as a structural engineer, contributing to sustainability and our built environment in a meaningful way. I want to focus on being as innovative as ...

Researchers have found a way to use 3D printers to produce tensegrity structures. Hold on, you ask, what the heck is a tensegrity structure? A tensegrity is a type of structure that is made from a ...
