Bio-Inspired Tensegrity Flexural Joints

ICRA 2018poster

Most robotics literature model the human's knee and hip as a revolute joint with limited range of rotation. Although somehow close to reality, this approach neglects a critical aspect of these joints, which is their internal flexibility. This paper presents a prototype tensegrity flexural manipulato…

A bio-inspired tensegrity manipulator with multi-DOF, structurally compliant joints

IROS 2016poster

Most traditional robotic mechanisms feature inelastic joints that are unable to robustly handle large deformations and off-axis moments. As a result, the applied loads are transferred rigidly throughout the entire structure. The disadvantage of this approach is that the exerted leverage is magnified…
