Variable Topology Truss
Jul 4, 2021
Variable Topology Trusses (VTT) are hyper-redundant parallel robots. A VTT consists of linear actuators for the truss members, which are joined at the truss nodes by a special reconfigurable spherical joint. A VTT can significantly change its shape and size, reconfigure by merging and splitting these truss nodes, and execute rolling locomotion.
