These days, robots are required to perform complicated tasks in highly dynamic environments, which can be challenging for rigid body robots. Tensegrity structures, isolated solid rods connected by tensile cables, are of interest in the field of soft robotics due to their flexible and robust nature. This makes them suitable for uneven and unpredictable environments in which traditional robots struggle. Tensegrity robots are robots that are comprised of rigid rods and elastic cables, for example. These naturally compliant robots have the potential to thrive in dynamic environments by exploiting their unique structural advantages.

OBS

tensegrity robot: designation validated by a Canadian subject-matter expert from Université Laval.
