An improved numerical model for locomotive tensegrity systems based on vector form intrinsic finite element

Locomotive robot based on tensegrity has recently drawn much attention due to its lightweight and flexibility. This article presents an improved numerical model for locomotive tensegrities. The previously used bar element for struts is replaced by beam element, and rigid joint element is used to con...
