A Novel Design and Improvement of 15-Bar Assembly Tensegrity Robotics Structure

This project is primarily an academic reference implementation (ArXiv paper) focused on the niche hardware engineering problem of assembling high-count tensegrity robots. While scaling from the standard 6-bar structure to a 15-bar structure is a known challenge in the field due to the pre-stress requirements and geometric complexity, this repository shows zero community engagement (0 stars) and has been stagnant for over 1,200 days. Its 'moat' is purely the domain expertise described in the paper, which is easily reproducible by any mechanical engineering lab. Frontier labs have zero interest in specific tensegrity assembly jigs. Competitors in the space include NASA's JPL (SUPERball project) and various university labs (Berkeley BEST Lab), who operate at a much higher level of visibility and funding. The lack of a software library or simulation environment makes this a 'static' design rather than a living project, resulting in a low defensibility score.
