Tensegrity Continuum Robots Enable Task-Adaptive Morphologies for Cooperative Behaviors
Published in Nature Machine Intelligence, 2026
A modular reconfigurable robot that combines a tensegrity-based compliant body with claw-based connection mechanisms, enabling individual units to manipulate and locomote independently while self-reconfiguring into chains, loops, and branches for cooperative manipulation and locomotion.
