"Programmable Deployment of Tensegrity Structures by Stimulus-Responsive Polymers" Appears in Nature Scientific Reports

Professor Glaucio H. Paulino and research group member Ke Liu collaborated with Professor H. Jerry Qi and Jiangtau Wu from the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech to develop a method for actively deploying tensegrity structures (networks composed of discontinuous struts and continuous cables under a state of self-stress). The work was published in Nature Scientific Reports on June 14, 2017. Details and press releases....
