ABSTRACT

This paper provides an introduction of a prototype of moving space structure that can interact with humans like sound or light. This work, named "structured creature" is a so flexible structure that it gives a strong presage of the future where physical space completely corresponds to the subjective space that people perceive.

"structured creature" wriggles slowly, rising and collapsing repetitively. This movement is derived from its own structure. This structure, called "tensegrity", was invented by Buckminster Fuller. Only the equilibrium state between tension and compression is needed to realize a tensegrity structure. Thus, "structured creature" transforms by changing the internal tension with artificial muscles that are implemented to some tensional components.
