      In this paper we propose a new dynamic model, based on quaternions, for tensegrity systems of class-1. Quaternions are used to represent orientations of a rigid body in the 3-dimensional space eliminating the problem of ...

      This work addresses the problem of real-time self-collision detection for a movable tensegrity structure. We show that it can be tackled as the collision detection between two generic cylinders moving in R3. It is a ...
