Abstract The field of tensegrity faces challenges in design to facilitate efficient fabrication, and modeling due the antagonistic nature tension compression elements. research presents methodology, framework for a human-spine inspired Dexterous continuum Tensegrity manipulatoR (DexTeR). DexTeR is manipulator that comprises an assembly “vertebra” modules fabricated using two curved links 12 str...

Abstract The role of embodied intelligence (EI) has the potential to overcome current limitations in fabrication, control, and resulting behavior create robust effective dexterous robotic manipulators. To develop hands that truly exploit EI, we must design by considering entire system: physical body, sensory systems, brain (the controller). However, lack clear approaches methods enable this sys...
