A tensegrity structure is an assembly of elements in compression (bars) and elements in tension (cables, springs) held together in equilibrium. Tensegrity has been known in architecture and art for more than a century and is adapted to the modeling of living organisms. More recently, tensegrity mechanisms have been studied for their promising properties in robotics such as low inertia, natural flexibility and deployment capability. A tensegrity mechanism is obtained when one or more elements are actuated, in our case by cables. This thesis is part of the AVINECK project, in which biologists and roboticians are involved with a dual goal: to have a better understanding of nature and bird necks, and also to draw inspiration from nature in orde...
