Innovating Prosthetic Design: Tensegrity Principles for Enhanced Mobility

Discover how tensegrity—lightweight networks of struts and cables—can power more adaptable prosthetic arms. Building on my research that achieved ~±49.5° active torsion (2.5× prior designs), we will prototype simple modules, test motion, and connect design choices to comfort, function, and accessibility. You’ll leave with files and a DIY guide to run this activity in a class or makerspace.
