A Bio-Inspired Tensegrity Manipulator with Multi-DOF, Structurally Compliant Joints
Steven Lessard, Dennis Castro, William Asper +5
Most traditional robotic mechanisms feature inelastic joints that are unable to robustly handle large deformations and off-axis moments. As a result, the applied loads are transfer…

A light-weight, multi-axis compliant tensegrity joint
Steven Lessard, Jonathan Bruce, Erik Jung +3
In this paper, we present a light-weight, multi- axis compliant tenegrity joint that is biologically inspired by the human elbow. This tensegrity elbow actuates by shortening and l…
