Autonomous Locomotion of Tensegrity Structure on Low‐Temperature Surfaces
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A low‐temperature responsive tensegrity structure (LRTS) is constructed by integrating low‐responsive temperature liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) cables, nonresponsive cables, and stiff rods. The low phase transition temperature of LCE is achieved by introducing a new liquid crystal mesogen.
