Adaptive control of a deployable tensegrity structure

Ian Smith, Ann Christine Sychterz, Nicolas Willy Veuve

Deployable structures belong to a special class of moveable structures that are capable of form and size change. Controlling movement of deployable structures is important for successful deployment, in-service adaptation and safety. In this paper, measurem ...

Tensegrity structures have non-conventional structural properties since they require self-stress in order to be stable. When a tensegrity structure integrates sensors, actuators, (structural members able to change their length) and a control system, deploy ...

Tensegrity structures are spatial self-stressed pin jointed structures where compression components (struts) are surrounded by tension elements. This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge that deploys from both sides and connec ...

Deployment of a tensegrity footbridge

Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei

Deployable structures are structures that transform their shape from a compact state to an extended in-service position. Structures composed of tension elements that surround compression elements in equilibrium are called tensegrity structures. Tensegritie ...

A deployable tensegrity footbridge that connects at mid-span

Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei

This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge that deploys from both sides and connects at mid-span. Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed structures composed of tension elements (cables) surrounded by compression elements (strut ...

Biomimetic structures interact with their environment, change their properties, learn and self-repair, thereby providing properties that are similar to living organisms. Interactions with the environment involve unique challenges in the field of computatio ...

Tensegrity structures are self-stressed pin-jointed structures composed of cables and struts. They are advantageous systems for transformable applications since structural elements and active elements can be combined. A transformable “hollow-rope” tensegri ...
