Modeling and Characterization of Tensegrity Structures Integrating Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

This study by Jun Shintake and co‐workers, article number 2201471, presents a method to create active tensegrity structures integrated with dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) and their analytical model. These DEA‐tensegrities are highly compliant, mechanically robust, and capable of generating voltage‐controlled deformations, making them promising intelligent building block for soft robotics as symbolized in the cover picture.
