Development of a Modular Tensegrity Robot Arm Capable of Continuous Bending

In this study, we present a tensegrity robot arm that can reproduce the features of complex musculoskeletal structures, and can bend like a continuum manipulator. In particular, we propose a design method for an arm-type tensegrity robot that has a long shape in one direction, and can be deformed li...
