Abstract Tensegrity metamaterial, well-known for its unique synergy between compressed bars and tensile strings, enable a remarkable deformation and distinctive vibration characteristic [1]. These materials are increasingly recognized for their potential to facilitate advanced locomotion in soft robots. Tensegrity metamaterials, primarily constructed manually, have found applications in large-scale sectors like architecture and aerospace engineering [2]. However, their integration into soft robots necessitates scaling down to a centimeter scale, presenting challenges in automatic prototyping and kinematic simulation to guide the design process [3].
Recent advancements advocate for 3D-printed tensegrity structures to achieve integrated, one-piece systems [3,4]. Yet,… More >
