Application of Tensegrity in a Modular Robotic Manipulator
Funded by NASA, our teams goal is to prove whether or not a robotic manipulator using tensegrity can serve as a lightweight and compressible option for future robotic arms. Our team is to design a modular arm based of the principility of tensegrity.
Team Members:
- Andy Wixom (Mechanical Engineer)
- Kyle Brown (Mechanical Engineer)
- George Korbel (Mechanical Engineering)
- Andrew Smith (Biological and Agricultural Engineer)
- Sean Wagoner (Computer Engineer)
- Jared Garrison (Mechanical Engineer)
- Chris Edwards (Mechanical Engineer)
TensegriTeam is sponsored by NASA RLEP and is mentored by Jay McCormack.
