Analyzing the Dynamics of Eco-Friendly Tensegrity Structures: A System Identification Study.

Tensegrity structures are unique structures composed of a combination of compressive and tensile elements. Developing system models for these structures is an important step in understanding their behaviour and introducing control methods. This study explores the system identification of two eco-friendly tensegrity structures made from recycled materials. By utilizing simple electronic sensors, we analyzed the dynamic behaviour of the structures and investigated the possibility of changing their shape by actively altering the tension of one of their strings. These initial findings hold exciting potential for future research in this field.
