    Exploring Space with Shape-Shifting Robots

    Published on Oct 2, 2015

    Alice Agogino's lab at the University of California, Berkeley and Vytas SunSpiral's team at the Dynamic Tensegrity Robotics Lab at NASA Ames Research Center are developing what could be the next generation of space exploring robots. And these robots are inspired by a baby toy of all things. They are made of cables and rods and are a type of structure known as a tensegrity structure-- which gives them some unique properties that make them pretty robust. Check out how the researchers are engineering and programming them to move.

    How to build a model of a future space-exploring robot

    Published on Oct 19, 2015

    Researchers at NASA Ames and the University of California, Berkeley are designing what may be the next generation of space exploring robots. These robots are a type of structure known as a tensegrity structure. In tensegrity structures, rigid elements are not directly connected to one another by bolts or screws, and instead are connected by wires, cables, chains or a similiar string-like object. In this video, CaT Bobino explains how you can make a model of a tensegrity structure out of just straws and rubber bands. Share what you make with @KQEDedspace on twitter or instagram using #tensegrity.

    6-bar spherical tensegrity robot climbing

    Published on Apr 4, 2017

    6-bar tensegrity robot built by UC Berkeley's BEST lab demonstrated incline surface climbing. The robot was able to successfully climb up 24 degree (44.5% grade) incline using multiple actuators.

    12-bar tensegrity cube rolling in straight line

    Published on Apr 19, 2017

    The Berkeley Emergent Space Tensegrities (BEST) Lab is investigating the capabilities of 12-bar tensegrity robots. Here we show that a 12-bar cubic tensegrity can move in a straight line using only four actuators.
