A tensegrity-based system is a promising approach for dynamic exploration of uneven,
unpredictable, and confined environments. However, implementing such systems presents …

Mobile robots with multi locomotion modes have excellent terrain adaptability. However,
traditional multi-locomotion mobile robots are usually actuated by a large number of motors …

This paper presents a minimal mass design approach to the clustered tensegrity structures
(CTS). By minimal mass, we mean, for a given clustered tensegrity structure subject to …

Soft robots typically exhibit limited agility due to inherent properties of soft materials. The
structural design of soft robots is one of the key elements to improve their mobility. Inspired …
