An Open-Source, Reproducible Tensegrity Robot That Can Navigate Among Obstacles

RA-L 2026

Tensegrity robots, composed of rigid struts and elastic tendons, provide impact resistance, low mass, and adaptability to unstructured terrain. Their compliance and complex, coupled dynamics, however, present modeling and control challenges, hindering planning and obstacle avoidance. This letter pre

Learning Differentiable Tensegrity Dynamics using Graph Neural Networks

CoRL 2024poster

Tensegrity robots are composed of rigid struts and flexible cables. They constitute an emerging class of hybrid rigid-soft robotic systems and are promising systems for a wide array of applications, ranging from locomotion to assembly. They are difficult to control and model accurately, however, due…
