1.1 Origins, definitions and main uses
We'd like to remind you of a few basic facts about tensegrity. Interested readers will find more details in the article
Tensegrity
A tensegrity is a self-tensioning mechanical structure made up of elements that are rigid in compression (bars) and elements in tension that are not rigid in compression (cables and/or springs). The self-tensioning state is achieved by pretensioning the cables or springs. This state ensures a stable equilibrium for the tensegrity structure
