| Research Abstract |
I proposed a tensegrity locomotion robot driven by shape memory alloy or pneumaticactuators in order to investigate how locomotionrobots apply the body deformation. I realized a successiverolling motion of a regular icosahedral tensegrity structure utilizing the body deformation. I also described the movement strategies using a notation method based on knowledgeof crystallography.
