Robust Tensegrity Polygons
A tensegrity polygon is a planar cable-strut tensegrity framework in which the cables form a convex polygon containing all vertices. The underlying edgelabeled graph, in which the cable edges form a Hamilton cycle, is an abstract tensegrity polygon. It is said to be robust if every convex realization as a tensegrity polygon has an equilibrium stress which is positive on the cables and negative ...
متن کاملRobust Distributed Control of Rolling Tensegrity Robot
Tensegrity structures are based on the idea of balanced structures composed of rigid bodies that are connected only by using tension elements. Robots that are constructed using tensegrity principle can offer many advantages such as being lightweight, impact tolerant or offering unique modes of locomotion. Controlling tensegrity robots has many challenges due to their overall complexity and nonl...
متن کاملRobust Point Location in Approximate Polygons
This paper presents a framework for reasoning about robust geoemtric algorithms. Robustness is formally deened and a data structure called an approximate polygon is introduced and used to reason about polygons constructed of edges whose positions are uncertain. A robust algorithm for point location in an approximate polygon is presented. The algorithm uses only the signature of the point (not i...
متن کاملRobust Point Location in Approximate Polygons (extended Abstract)
Introduction Most geometric algorithms assume that perfect \real" arithmetic is available. When these algorithms are implemented they often fail because this assumption is not borne out; that is, these algorithms are not robust. This failure occurs because either the input or the intermediate calculations are imprecise, leading to inconsistent decisions by the algorithm. This paper presents a f...
متن کاملAlgebraic tensegrity form-finding
This paper concerns the form-finding problem for general and symmetric tensegrity structures with shape constraints. A number of different geometries are treated and several fundamental properties of tensegrity structures are identified that simplify the form-finding problem. The concept of a tensegrity invariance (similarity) transformation is defined and it is shown that tensegrity equilibriu...
