Tensegrity

Tensegrity is a deployable sensor designed for disaster areas. Tensegrity is dropped from a drone to gather data for emergency response teams, including gas leaks, images and sounds from survivors. Rigid rods and nylon threads form a tensioned structure that absorbs the impact of a fall from more than 50 meters, so no parachute is required.

The union of the two materials has synergistically merged into a new innovative form. The front of the bike seeks a sinuous and soft line, which integrates the electrical components inside, while the rear recalls technicality and strength.
